Irina Livezeanu is Associate Professor of History at the University of Pittsburgh.

Review:

"Irina Livezeanu has effectively demonstrated that there is need to re-think the interwar period in Romanian history and to free it from the terrible obfuscations perpetrated by the scholarly minions of the Ceausescu regime. She also counters the romanticized picture of interwar Romania painted by some dissident intellectuals suffering from Communist oppression. Here is a book that is a major contribution to the recent history of Romania, as well as to the historical literature on East European nationalism and nation building."
