Summary/Abstract: In his memoirs and other writings, Corneliu Coposu presents the actions and achievements of one of the key figures in interwar Romanian politics, particularly during the 1930s and the period of the Second World War, in which Romania was involved. This figure is Iuliu Maniu, the leader of the National Peasant Party. Since 1930, Corneliu Coposu had been a close associate of Maniu, supporting him in all political endeavors. Through his accounts and various written reports, Coposu reveals insights into private discussions he had with Maniu—some of which were little known at the time and remain so even today.Additionally, Coposu sheds light on the impact of Maniu's relationships with the most important political figures of the era, including his opponents, King Carol II and General Ion Antonescu. These relationships, along with the hopes and disillusionments following the events of August 23, 1944, had a significant influence on Maniu’s political journey.
