Darkness at Dawn: The Rise of the Russian Criminal State

[Interesting provenance, from the library of Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa.] Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Highlighting. "Ion Mihai Pacepa was a top Romanian intelligence officer who became the highest-ranking defector from the Soviet bloc when he fled Romania and sought asylum in the United States. Pacepa joined the Securitate intelligence agency in 1951 and rose in its ranks. At the time of his defection in 1978, Pacepa was a top general in Romania's much-feared Securitate secret police. He was also an adviser to dictator Nicolae Ceausescu and he held other top security posts in the government.".
