| Mark Ethridge's mission, in the winter of 1945, was a final attempt, and a rather formal one at that, by the Americans to convince themselves that Romania had fallen once and for all into the hands of the Soviets. British and Americans diplomats, officers and their secret services in Bucharest had warned London and Washington on numeros occasions of the process of communisation, wich seemed to appear irreversible. The mission of Ethridge, a journalist despatched by the State Department to Romania and Bulgaria acquired a verifying role. He, an amateur, was charged with confirming the sombre and desperate reports of the professionals. |
