Want to know THE TRUTH? - THIS IS IT!!

This book was written before the end of WW2 - there was NO Cea(u)sescu and NO communist government in Romania at the time. Moreover, THIS BOOK IS WRITTEN BY AN IMPARTIAL AMERICAN PROFESSOR - SO IF YOU TRULY WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH, THIS IS IT!! (On the other hand, S. Biro is known for being an extreme nationalist prop for Hungarian propaganda and Hungarian Revisionist policies.) Another very good book which tells the TRUTH about Hungarian policies in the territories they occupied is "REVISIONIST HUNGARY" by Dr. Samuel Fenyes (who happened to be an honest Hungarian).

If you want to know the real Romanian History read the American author Lehrer, not the Hungarian aut

Hungarians, apparently a migrant population from the north of the actual Iran, migrated in the 10th century to Europe.From that time to our days the Hungarians have a fixation for the Romanian (Dacian teritories before the Roman conquest from 106 A.C.)province named Transilvania.The book shows how the Hungarians,famous for their cruelty(they proudly named themselves "Attilas' descendents"), using terror methods and crimes,ruled a few centuries over the six times more numerous Romanian population.All that time was a dark era for Romanians and their history.Even now the Romanians are frighten by Hungarian minority.Read D. Bánffy - Hungary's ex-prime minister - Magyar nemzetiségi politika" Budapesta, 1903 and you will understand the Hungary's minorities politics. From 1920,after the Trianon Treaty, Transilvania returned rightfully to Romania.Hungarians,and their minority from Romania, use "historical facts", falsify the "minorities problem",and spend a lot of lobby and propaganda money hoping to regain Transilvania.They have created a whole literature about the "Hungary's Transylvania." Today's Hungary have territorial and minorities disputes with the all neighbor countries.

Good reading

The author was extremelly thourough in his research. The book is worth reading. Regarding a previous comment that "Apparently the author only used information fabricated by the Cea[u]sescu", this cannot be true since the book was written before the end of WW2.Also, Milton Lehrer was a Jew, and Jews are generally known for being very objective with regard to the history of the countries they lived in.
