  Abstract:  The most important monographs which have approached the history of the Legionary movement from a diachronic perspective usually set their starting point in the early interwar years, during the initial organizing stages of the Romanian far right, and go no further than the short-lived government of September 1940 – January 1941. Not many historians have focused on the evolution of the movement after its political demise (the most notable works in that regard are those of Ilarion Ţiu), meaning that Tiberiu Tănase’s book, titled Sides of the Coin. The Legionary Movement between 1941 and 1948 (Tritonic, Bucureşti, 2010), tackles mostly unexplored topics. The author has a Ph.D in history from the University of Bucharest and is a lecturer at the National Intelligence Academy. His wide range of scientific interests includes various fields of study, such as international relations, the history of the Romanian intelligence service as well as the Romanian far right. The book hereby reviewed successfully brings these themes together, while the author’s background and expertise allows him to follow certain aspects that are usually left out by other works.
