Lucian Boia - Vesztesek and győztesek

Transylvania and the peace treaties through the eyes of the Romanian star historian

World War, Trianon, loss of country. We have already interpreted the events from our own point of view many times and in many different ways. But how does the other party see the same thing? What does the renowned Romanian historian think, who does not approach the question blinded by the euphoria of victory?

Lucian Boia's book about the First World War also debunks the myths of the unification of Transylvania and Romania. When the work was published in Romania, it immediately became the center of stormy interest in the media, because the author makes several pivotal, new and bold statements about the creation of modern Romania that no one has made before. The book is therefore an incredibly exciting read for anyone interested in the history of Europe in the 20th and perhaps even more so in the 21st century.
