- catalog abstract "In 1989, Romania exploded in revolution. Suddenly the borders were open and those who had fled Nicolae Ceausescu's tyranny could now revisit their roots. Among them was Petro Popescu, once Romania's most famous opposition writer, now a best-selling American author and successful Hollywood filmmaker. This book is the story of his journey. It is also a fascinating historical account of growing up under "ordinary Communism." Witnessing political killings, coming of age in a. Regime where even sex was state-regulated, finally tricking Ceausescu himself into giving him the chance to defect, Popescu's odyssey encapsulates many of the major events of the late twentieth century. Popescu's American wife, Iris, is the daughter of Holocaust survivors; thus within one American family are combined two powerful immigrant sagas: survival of Nazism and flight from Communism.".
