Alan Elsner has 30 years' experience in journalism, covering stories ranging from the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and conflicts in the Middle East to the presidential electiona and the end of the Cold War. Elsner’s career has been marked by a passion for justice and truth, unquestioned integrity, and a willingness to confront the powerful, the complacent and the evasive.
In Romance Language he breaks new ground with a passionate story set against the backdrop of the bloody Romanian Revolution of 1989. In a meticulously-researched book, Elsner's star-crossed protagonists find themselves at the center of tumultuous events as a brutal Communist dictatorship struggles, willing to do anything to hold on to power, confronts a nation yearning for freedom.
