Product Description
As a state, Romania has only been in existence since 1859, but the history of its people stretches to the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age, to the Geto-Dacians and Romans. This concise history tells the fascinating story of the evolution of the Romanian people, the creation of the Romanian Principalities, their struggle against empire-building powers, and their eventual unification to form the state of Romania.

Nicolae Klepper's "Romania: An Illustrated History" is a great history book for anyone interested in the country.
It's well-written, entertaining, engaging and filled with anecdotes and stories that have historical credibility.
This history book is also a page-turner. Readers will learn a lot about Romania, a country about which very little is known
in the West, outside of its Dracula mythology which is so popular nowadays.
 Far too thin to be interesting November 24, 2009
Jon L. Albee (Houston, TX)
Readers, this is NOT a comprehensive history of Romania, but a summary of Romanian history for those generally unfamiliar with the topic. The narrative is dry, dry, dry... all about dates and locations and names. This battle and that battle, with little context or cultural insight.
It's an easy read, and is perhaps appropriate for travelers interested in the importance of their surroundings, but don't look for penetrating scholarship here.
Marvelous introduction to Romania! July 26, 2009

My grandparents were immigrants from Iasi, Romania and I read this book in an attempt to learn more about my cultural background. I was not disappointed! This book provides a full history (although the changes politically occur so frequently they become difficult to follow) with focus on the key figures in politics, as well as in literature. The stories of different regions of Romania - Moldavia, Transylvania, Wallachia etc. - are covered. This book is a very readable and very comprehensive introduction to Romanian history.
GREAT LITTLE BOOK! September 3, 2008
