That monarch was Vlad, the third ruler of Wallachia to hold that name, the second ruler to be associated with the Order of the Dragon, and the first ruler to be associated with a gruesome act, that of impalement. The bulk of the book will deal with what Vlad's political career looked like, what wars he waged.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHere are just some of the topics covered in part 1 of this book: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Romania connected the West and East\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Panaretos, the Greek rulers of Moldavia and Wallachia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe unification of the country and its international recognition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat role Romania played during the two world wars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow communism almost destroyed the nation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommunism Rising\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ceausescu Regime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis book also looks at Vlad from the many facets he has left to history - the Impaler; the Renaissance prince 'more sinned against than sinning' whose reputation was destroyed by his enemies; the hero on a white horse, who welded Wallachia into a fighting and defiant nation-state; the defeated martyr, captured by the Hungarian king Corvinus.
