Area Handbook for Romania

The 'Area Handbook for Romania,' authored by Eugene K. Keefe in the early 1970s, provides a detailed overview of Romania's political, social, and economic structures during the communist era under Nicolae Ceaușescu. It serves as a reference for military and other personnel, offering objective information about Romania's efforts to assert independence from Soviet influence. The handbook discusses Romania's transformation from a kingdom to a communist state post-World War II and examines the challenges faced in navigating autonomy within the Eastern European communist bloc.
