Written by an American diplomat who served in Romania from 1947 to 1950, during the time of the Communist takeover of the country, Assignment: Bucharest relates the author's experiences as director of a Western information program in the Communist-controlled country.

A transparently autobiographical novel, it is an unforgiving indictment of a government with which the United States still maintained diplomatic relations. Although written in the form of a novel, the book is a factual description of the events surrounding the Communist takeover of Romania. His insightful descriptions of Romanian personalities give this book its enduring importance.
