Format:Hörkassette
Pacepa's description of life among the Inner Party during the Ceausescu words is chilling. He documents abuses of power, cruelties, and downright stupidities among the ruling elite of Communist Romania, and shows why the Ceaucescus were so hated (and deservedly so) by average Romanians.
It's too bad that he tries to exculpate himself at the end by showing himself to be a closet Christian and pro-American. It seems to me that he pulls this rabbit out of the hat near the end so his American friends and readers will overlook the murders, tortures and other atrocities he committed and abetted. (The Karla Faye Tucker defense.) By springing this surprise on the reader, the author makes us wonder: if he were really the pro-Western Christian he claims to be, would he have really aquiesced to even one of the horrors he describes? Wouldn't he have allowed himself to die before allowing hundreds of innocents to be slaughtered?
Format:Taschenbuch
Ion Mihai Pacepa was the highest ranking official ever to defect from the Eastern Bloc. His book is a first-hand account of the hideous monster that grew in the minds of Romania's Communist dictator, Nicolae Ceausescu, and his wife, and that fed on an entire nation. I have to think that the escalating deception and abuse would have been found out by the West. Amazingly, Romania retained its Most Favored Nation trade status for years after the author defected. Two years after Pacepa published "Red Horizons", the Ceausescus were overthrown and executed. Romania is still in an economic and social shambles nearly a decade later.
Format:Taschenbuch
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in the Byzantine twists and turns of Eastern Bloc diplomacy during the Cold War. Pacepa's riveting descriptions of what really went on in the Ceausescu home and in Romania during Ceausescu's reign are bound to shock and surprise even the most jaded reader of spy fiction.
But this is not fiction. This is fact. Dirty, disgusting fact. Pacepa was part of it, and admits to acts which would shock all but the most cynical reader, but his guts in publishing this book during Ceausescu's lifetime cannot be underestimated.
As Pacepa is no saint, he doesn't make an easy protagonist. Homophobic in the extreme, somewhat repressed, apt to treat people of colour with condescension, he's not the kind of man I'd be comfortable with, but that doesn't diminish the power of his words. Read this book; if you don't want to enrich a homophobic racist, borrow it from the library, but read it.
