DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The "Pigs' Slaughter" is the story of how the events during the run-up to Christmas Day 1989 changed a family and nation forever. It skillfully reveals how beneath the drunken joy of the Romanian Revolution lies the true story of the deception of a nation and the world. The story is told from the point of view of a 14 year old boy in a small Transylvanian town, destined to become a journalist and learn the inside stories, whose hindsight and flashforwards reveal to the reader the truth, of which most of the story's protagonists are painfully unaware. In a story that seamlessly weaves in relevant references to World War One and Two, the French Revolution, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and even Vlad the Impaler (the inspiration for Dracula's character), is revealed an inside description of how the Eastern Block, locked behind the Iron Curtain, was finally dismantled. --page 4 of cover
