The Kilt Behind the Curtain

- A Scotsman in Ceausescu's Romania

Bag om The Kilt Behind the Curtain

Sent deep behind the Iron Curtain to Bucharest by the British Government in 1967, Ronald Mackay serves as the "sharp end" of a trade initiative. How will he fare in communist-run Romania where suspicion abounds and Ceausescu's Secret Police are everywhere? With irony-tinged humour, Ronald tells of seductive informants; an ex-political-prisoner-turned-spy; fearful minorities; a hunting trip with the Communist elite; travels in Dracula's Transylvania; of running into a company of armed tanks; and of threatening Charles de Gaulle's attempt to be the first Western premier to court this bright but baffling tyrant-run country.
