Former US Ambassador to Romania David Funderburk stepped down from his post to protest against US policy toward Communist Romania and Eastern Europe. Ambassador Funderburk details the difficulties faced by anyone daring to challenge the aid~to~Communists policy of Foggy Bottom; the way courageous dissidents are let down by US policymakers and diplomats; and the ways the State Department (& other US government agencies) work hand in glove with some of the world's most ruthless Communists. Funderburk's service was praised by President Reagan for improving human rights and national security interests: ~"an invaluable contribution to the goals of [the] administration." Ambassador Funderburk was unanimously elected as an honorary member of the World Union of Free Romanians, and selected as an honorary head of the Romanian Faith and Liberty Institute, for his courage in challenging authorities to try to help the Romanians and other captive peoples. Pinstripes & Reds is an eye~opening account which exposes the failure of US policy and describes what must be done to defend freedom, by a leading authority on Eastern Europe.
