Sobre IBD

Romania was shaped in significant ways by one industry: oil. It brought the best and worst to the nation, its economy, and its people. That story started far earlier than 1857 when the first commercially refined oil was produced in Romania. This we discover in a fast-paced anecdotal account of the people who shaped that history through World Wars, peace, Communism, and after: adventurers, geologists, corrupt insiders, fire-fighters, politicians, spies, lawyers, and business personalities of the fossil fuel era.

  • ROMÂNIA în ’38-39
    Dan Dimancescu
    Romania has long been an inviting story for anyone who has visited and absorbed the richness of its landscapes, folk traditions and vibrant urban culture. But there’s a dark side, too. One overriding misfortune is its geographic location surrounded over many centuries by competing empires. This was no less the case during two turbulent years, 1938 and 1939, that saw the tentacl...
  • ONE THING Leads to Another
    Dan Dimancescu
    Punctuating his memoir are snapshots of events that shaped the post WW-II world.
