Song for a Tattered Flag
Buy the book from:
Eighteen-year-old Greg Byrne reaches Bucharest on the final stage of his school orchestra’s concert tour and hopes to contact his Romanian cousin Nadia. Instead, he finds a city controlled by Nicolae Ceaușescu’s dictatorship and the feared Securitate as public resistance begins to erupt.
Greg and Nadia are drawn into the December 1989 revolution that overthrew the communist regime. Trease uses music, family connection and the altered Romanian flag to show how surveillance and sudden mass protest transformed ordinary young people into participants in a historic political collapse.
