A good but incomplete history of Romania & Biography of Vlad III

While I did enjoy learning a great deal of detail I have not heard in broader histories where Romania is a small part, I was disappointed by the ending where he just skipididos right to the end after the fall of Ceausescu. With the briefest of overviews for Romania post 1989, he even there fails to mention one of the most CRITICAL aspects of post communist Romania… The Rise of Organized Crime Groups and their infiltration of many parts of the Romanian economy. This is an egregious oversight that makes the work incomplete. Still worth having, as there is not much else out there reviewing Romanian history in the English language.
