The Bloody Flag   (book)

The Bloody Flag: Post-Communist Nationalism in Eastern Europe: Spotlight on Romania, Vol. 16

I'm even more interested to read this book now that I've read We The Living by Ayn Rand, because it sounds like this book is studying the possibility that what happened after Red October might happen again after the fall of Communism, albeit on a smaller scale: that the greedy and hypocritical old leaders, or similarly motivated people might be able to take the reins of a country struggling to rebuild itself.
