Red Horizons

Written by Iona Pacepa, this book is an eye opener.

Iona Pacepa is the former head of Romanian Intelligence when Romania was a communist government. After his defection to the US, he exposed the communist Romania for what it really was in his book "Red Horizons". When he defected, President Nicolae Ceasueau suffered a nervous breakdown and Romanian Intelligence collapsed.

There are several interesting parts to this book.

3. The dealings of communist Romania with foreign powers, including Libya, Palestine, the then USSR, the USA, and others.

This is an interesting and complicated read, but one which will shock you.
