Summary/Abstract: Tudor Păcuraru and Florian Bichir capitalize, in the book “Târgu Mureș 1990: Bloody Dawn”, the information contained in the two volumes of the NCSSA File 091950 – th contribution of the “B” (counter-espionage) Office in Târgu Mureș to the Informative Bulletin – a daily material elaborated to inform the main decision makers of the Romanian state. The book is dedicated to “the Romanian officers, counterintelligence and anti-terrorism officers who, scorned by their own government, chose to do their duty to their Fatherland as best they could, under the boos of the hysterized crowd” and was published in 2021 by Evenimentul and Capital. On the basis of these documents, the authors reconstruct a detailed picture of the interethnic conflicts between 1989 and 1990, highlighting the complexity and depth of the tensions that marked that period. The book offers a unique insight into how these conflicts were handled, analyzing the reactions of both the authorities and the communities involved. It also emphasizes the essential role of the counter-espionage services in maintaining national order and security in the context of extremely tumultuous events. Through this book, Păcuraru and Bichir pay tribute to those who, despite difficulties and adversity, remained faithful to their mission to protect the integrity and stability of the country, while revealing the revisionist plans pursued by Hungarian intelligence services in recent decades.
