Adrian Nastase, the current Prime Minister of Romania, presents an evaluation of the period of transition from communism to democracy in Eastern Europe, with special reference to Romania. The volume is particularly interesting since it is written by an "insider" who is one of the principal architects and directors of the process. Nastase provides a realistic blueprint for the attainment of a democratic political, social, and economic order in the twenty-first century.
