Summary/Abstract: The author seeks to analyze in this study the response of a major international actor, The United States of America, to the national Romanian resistance against the communization/Sovietization process in 1945-1947. The conclusions are rather sad: the American policy, as far as the Romanian anticommunist resistance was concerned, consisted only in parachuting 13 Anglo-American agents in Romania, in adopting (pro forma) Resolution 5412 of the National Security Council for undercover, propaganda, and sabotage actions, and finally, in the CIA project code named Red Sox - Red Cap, attempting to create paramiIitary detachments made up of former members of the peasant parties in Hungary, Poland, and Romania.
