Průlom, který zůstal v půli cesty Ceauseskův životopis v kontextu české historiografie o Rumunsku
Review: Not Quite a Breakthrough: A Biography of Ceausescu in the Context of Czech Writing on the History of Romania

Summary/Abstract: Tejchman, Miroslav. Nicolae Ceausescu: Zivot a smrt jednoho diktatora. Prague: Nakla-datelstvi Lidove noviny, 2004, 205 pp. The reviewer outlines the relatively unsatisfactory state of Czech historical research on Romania and on the basis of this sees Tejchman's Nicolae Ceau§escu: Zivot a smrt jednoho diktdtora (N.C.: The life and death of a dictator) as the first work and one clearly needed but he has mixed feelings about the results. Tejchman, the leading expert on Romanian history in Czech circles, has used a number of his earlier works to produce the book under review and consequently, argues the reviewer, he has this time contributed little new. Moreover, since he has concentrated too much on Ceau§escu and the Ceau§escu family, Tejchman has failed to achieve his declared aim of writing a brief history of post-war Romania.
