Kurzbeschreibung
The Republic of Moldova claims a European lineage reaching back in time long before its 14th century accession to statehood. In the 15th century, it managed against all odds to avoid being conquered by Islam and-albeit an intermittent vassal after 1485-it maintained its autonomy and was never turned into a province of the Ottoman Empire. After this period, however, Moldova would not be so fortunate, as it altered between Russian, Romanian, and Soviet control until it finally gained its independence in 1991 from the Soviet Union. The A to Z of Moldova, through its chronology, introduction, appendixes, maps, bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on important persons, places, events, and institutions and significant political, economic, social, and cultural aspects, traces the history of this small, but densely populated country, providing a compass for the direction it is heading.

A Well Written, Highly Useful Reference
27. Februar 2011
"The A to Z of Moldova" is a well written, highly useful reference for anyone interested in the Republic of Moldova. Its approachable format provides a quick orientation in the "Chronology" and "Introduction" and then permits the reader to delve into detail through the alphabetical entries. Reading the book from cover to cover involves a certain amount of repetition since some entries contain material covered in others. However, this repetition is useful for a reader who wishes to learn the basics of a particular subject by turning to the corresponding entry. Cross references are provided for someone seeking more detail. Special mention should be made of the extensive bibliography, which is helpfully organized by subject and expertly annotated. I was impressed by the wealth of material on Moldova that the authors found.
Turning to the substance of the book, I applaud its lack of tendentiousness. Moldovan history and current affairs are fraught with controversy, but the authors have made balanced presentations of some very contentious subjects. I would have no hesitation, therefore, in recommending "The A to Z of Moldova" as a fair, judicious source of key information on the Republic of Moldova.
