Vara 1940 – o umilire națională (și ce spune ea despre viitorul României)
The Summer of 1940 – a National Humiliation (And What It Reveals About Romania’s Future)

Summary/Abstract: What happened in the summer of 1940 was not a tragedy – simply because this metaphor lacks the much needed precision when discussing Romania’s borders. A tragedy involves surprises, plot twists, unexpected interventions of fate itself. With one notable exception (the rapid capitulation of France), the facts behind our collapse in 1940 should not have been surprising in the least, many of them having accumulated for years and even decades. Indeed, the summer of 1940 represented the humiliation of the Romanian state and the collective bankruptcy of the political and military elite ruling the country.
