Recollections of a Romanian Diplomat, 1918-1969

The half century covered by Raoul Bossy's diaries and memoirs was one of major upheaval in the world. Bossy offers an eyewitness account of that turbulent era through his recollections of life in the Romanian diplomatic corps from 1918 through World War II. He provides keen and witty firsthand observations on the unfolding international events, the behind-the-scenes policymaking, and the major players--from Queen Marie and Prince Carol to General Antonescu and Adolf Hitler.
