A Good Romanian History Book

A Good Romanian History Book

A history book absolutely superb. It's "History of the war for the Unity of Romania" by Constantin Kiritescu, I edition of the Scientific and Ed Enciclopedica, Bucharest, 1989. a reproduces that of 1928 ..
But before you comment let me tell you another story ... I lived
in the spring of 89 paid external duty Ceausescu of Romania and all I thought was a screw relax. The only "joy" has been increasing from 2 to 3 hours of broadcasting TVR television, and the percentage of propaganda ..
Around Gorbachev shake our socialist system, but nothing new.
I think I only waited anxiously Congress with the XIV century and hope that something will change. But nothing, except that a shoemaker loud cry against the USSR and Gorbaciov ... with some fear boys with blue eyes-foundries-that is, those who understand the era they lived, I tried understanding what happens and will be the consequences ..
Almost immediately after the congress, that is towards the end of November, I entered the library Bucharest M. Eminescu.
How come there often, I knew the sellers. And for that I and speaking, .. a girl, of small stature he said look what I got, "You better be good to buy. TODAY." Me, stupid as "Well I never RAFO a" girl who "Believe me, Oh you like it. I know the taste, take it NOW . As a man of the time I understood and I digging through pockets. It was painful, and I paid with metal sheets 25 Cashier money .. I tried to say something, but her colleague, who told me about practically forced me, he made the sign of the head to keep the comments. After I took gave me the voucher volume 2 after which he said the most banal and professional tone goodbye.
How then understand-May-fast today, I got the books, I said a thank you, goodbye as neutral and I went out the door. I was thinking why I have given recent oi money without even skim ..
I got it home. Obviously I knew that the beginning of the war, the battles in Transylvania, withdrawal, Oituz, Marstal, Marasesti, and finally peace and reunification with the creation of Greater Romania.
The book was a lot. Secret Treaty of Carol I, and the royal families for choosing a camp in order to obtain maximum advantage, arguments used interventions parties, the Council the crown. Then I realized what the word meant for people that age. And his respect.
When the TVR television did show that the most novel idea is questionable, I realized that not only admired the fact that although the officer was and king, bound by treaties and alliances blood, Carol I was a man of word . And his main duty was to his country, Romania. If the people wanted, he was subjected. And died of a heart with a bad decision not agreed. Although, I think today's politicians, regardless of party, that it would not worth a word for it .. (excuse the word like ..)
on the Mausoleum of Marasesti. I imagined that was where they were given battles.
In this book I heard from Sarja Robanesti. Where the cavalry attacked from AK47. The older of the band fighted in 1877. In 1916 years .. have .. But he left voluntarily for an idea. Obviously that was not returned almost none, but have stopped the advance of the enemy ..
Great shame that current history books say that Mihai Viteazul have sensual lips. And it mentioned Andreea Esca. But these acts of bravura those on the battlefield, no.
And no I did not like the Romanian officers who were carrying the plans for defense of Bucharest have them all in hand with the enemy. Without even try to destroy them use or their guns. I enjoyed finding that after the war many ladies do not receive in their home. Ii treated backwards if their wife obliged. A lady of good family it would even be asked if one is true officers gun if they were to learn to use it. Then out door ...
Just did not know, although it was logical that in the 196 and 1917, Russian military ally, was known for its ability to non combat. And that the Germans and Austrians attacked just there, knowing that after a few shell and squall, the Russians leg and I let the Romans go to the battle ground for their country. And how they were poorly trained and armed, the outcome was predictable ..
Even I was amazed to find out how Romanian regiment was surrounded. Germans have sent emissary proposing capitulation. Roman commander requested some time thinking several hours swearing on his word as an officer will not take any hostile action. Shortly enemies were shocked to hear an explosion in the Romanian. After that proposal was accepted teaching. But the Germans have been shocked when they found that the Romans had not any gun, especially a flag. It was clear what was used last reserve of ammunition. Well, almost all of it. Master and retain the last gun cartridge. Which they used properly, after it avoided the unnecessary massacre of his people ..
Remember many a footballer, this guy's name I forgot.
So I would recommend this book ...
