Summary/Abstract: The second world war had a major impact on global politics. Concluding in 1945, it led to the drawing of new borders, the emergence of new spheres of influence, military treaties and generated new conflicts. Influenced by the communist ideology during the political regime of the leader Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, the travel memoir abroad, published between 1958-1965 (the withdrawal of the Red Army from Romania the death of the Romanian leader) presents numerous hypostases of the war: Hitlerist and anti-Hitlerist, anti-colonialist, the arms race, the nuclear danger, the representation of war in literature and art. The following study, which has been performed on a sample of twenty Romanian travel memoir volumes, details all these aspects of armed confrontations or of the cold war of the 50s and 60s.
