This well-read copy of “The Twenty-Fifth Hour” by C. Virgil Gheorghiu offers a gripping firsthand account of life in a Romanian prison camp during the brutal Soviet occupation following World War II. Gheorghiu, a writer and journalist, was arrested in 1945 for his anti-communist views and spent several years enduring harsh conditions and psychological torture. His haunting memoir provides a rare glimpse into the human rights abuses and oppression faced by countless Eastern Europeans under Stalin’s regime. Despite its age and wear, this edition remains a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of preserving historical narratives. Collectors of 20th-century history, Cold War literature, and tales of personal courage will appreciate owning this significant work by a courageous voice silenced by totalitarianism.
