Romania in Us Foreign Policy, 1945-1970: Bilateral Relations As Recounted in the Diplomatic Correspondence of the Times Lucian Bogdan Ph.d.

The volume herein evokes Romania's reflection in U. S. foreign policy, by laying emphasis upon the diplomatic relations between the two countries, as well as upon the activity of American diplomatic personnel in Romania and, respectively, of Romanian diplomats in the U. S. The events are scrutinized in their historical context, that of the Cold War (without insisting upon the general context, which is laid down in "Romania in U. S. Foreign Policy, 1945-1970. A Contextual Framework", by the same author, ebook available on Amazon.com), from the perspective of the direct contacts between Romanian and American diplomats and, respectively, foreign service officers, as resulting from documents of those days. The volume is the end-product of a research extensively conducted by the author, at the National Archives, throughout the collections of documents released by the State Department, and the resources at the Information Center of the U. S. Embassy to Bucharest, as well as the unedited, first-hand documents at the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the archive fund of the Central Committee of the Communist Party.
