Synopsis
As European capitals fell during 1940 and 1941, there swarmed to the Athene Palace, Bucharest' s Grand Hotel, diplomats, generals, Gestapo spies, and demi-mondaines from all over Europe. Arriving at the crowded Athene Palace on the day Paris fell in June 1940, American female journalist Rosie Goldschmidt Waldeck observed for the next seven months all the events that unfolded and the international figures that made Romania Europe' s last sensational hotbed of intrigue and color. On the surface, this is a fast-moving, dramatic book, as readable as a novel, but it is also a most effective dissection of the Nazi New Order.This penetrating insight into the German administration of Europe reveals the reasons underlying the failure of the Nazi regime. Originally published during the Second World War, this new edition of Athene Palace is enhanced by a thorough introductory study on the author' s life and work by Ernest H. Latham, Jr., a well-known specialist in Romanian history.
