About this product
Product Information
One of the first historical mentions of an armed conflict in what is now Romania dates back to 335 B.C., when, prior to launching his legendary Asian campaign, Alexander the Great organized an expedition over the Western shore of the Danube to deter the Gaets and secure the frontier of the Macedonian Kingdom. Since then, the land located on the Black Sea and nestled amongst the Carpathian Mountains has seen more than its fair share of military struggles. Whether referring to the country's fight for independence against the Ottoman Empire in the 14th Century or the December Revolution in the late 20th Century, Romania's military history has been long and varied. This book presents a chronological and detailed narrative of the significant events in the nation's military history, covering everything from the campaign of the Persian king Darius I against the Scythians in 514 B.C. to Romania's admission into NATO in April of 2004. Beginning with a full chronology of the country's most important and decisive military events, Brief Romanian Military History then presents a general overview of 2500 years of Romanian history. Complete with biographies of significant military leaders and entries on important battles, wars, military organizations, structures, fortresses, uniforms, and weapons for each of the historical eras chronicled, this book is an essential reference tool for scholars, historians, anthropologists, journalists, and all others interested in the history of Romania.

The book is aimed at historians, anthropologists, journalists, and others., This book is an important contribution to the literature that includes an empirically rich account of Romania's military history in the territories that are now part of Romania....A valuable source of reference....Carefully researched and well written....The book contains a wealth of information that is accessible and well organized to serve as a reference to events and leaders and is a source of insights on the perceptions and actions that have driven history over the course of centuries. Brief Romanian Military History is a valuable resource for a range of readers - professionals and students alike., ...a useful documentary tool and database for any reader interested in the basic facts and figures of Romanian military history., Here is where this work makes its contribution. It is not a military history in the conventional sense. Instead Hentea presents a series of anecdotes and vignettes, loosely structured on chronological lines that offer an insight into Romania's military self-image. These pages present how Romania wishes to be seen in military contexts--and no less significantly, how it wishes to be seen by the West it seeks to rejoin in the twenty-first century. He demonstrates that a nation need not sacrifice its history and identity to be both a good neighbor and a full partner in an New European Order., Here is where this work makes its contribution.
