Nicolae Ceaușescu: The Genius of the Carpathians

For 24 years, Nicolae Ceaușescu ruled over Romania with absolute, totalitarian power in a quest to radically transform the country into the North Korea of Europe. By the end of his reign in 1989, Ceaușescu and his wife would become the only dictators in history to be executed by their own people on live TV, broadcast to millions of people. This is the story of modern Europe's most eccentric and totalitarian government.
