Brief Romanian Military History
One of the first historical mentions of an armed conflict in what is now Romania dates back to 335 B.C., when, prior to launching his legendary Asian campaign, Alexander the Great organized an expedition over the Western shore of the Danube to deter the Gaets and secure the frontier of the Macedonian Kingdom. Since then, the land located on the Black Sea and nestled amongst the Carpathian Mountains has seen more than its fair share of military struggles. Whether referring to the country's fight for independence against the Ottoman Empire in the 14th Century or the December Revolution in the late 20th Century, Romania's military history has been long and varied. This book presents a chronolog...
The Great War and Memory in Central and South-Eastern Europe
This volume presents a series of chapters about the Great War and memory in Central and South-Eastern Europe which will widen the insufficient and spotty representations of the Great War in that region. The contributors deliver an important addition to present-day scholarship on the more or less unknown war in the Balkans and at the Italian fronts. Although it might not completely fill the striking gap in the historical representations of the situation between the Slovene-Italian Soča-Isonzo river in the North-West and the Greek-Macedonian border mountains around Mount Kajmakčalan in the South-East, it will add significantly to the scholarship on the Balkan theatre of war and provide a much-needed account of the suffering of civilians, ideas, loyalties and cultural hegemonies, as well as memories and the post-war memorial landscape. The contributors are Vera Gudac Dodić, Silviu Hariton, Vijoleta Herman Kaurić, Oto Luthar, Olga Manojlović Pintar, Ahmed Pašić, Ignác Romsics, Daniela Schanes, Fabio Todero, Nikolai Vukov and Katharina Wesener.
The Fascist Faith of the Legion "Archangel Michael" in Romania, 1927–1941
The Fascist Faith of the Legion "Archangel Michael" in Romania, 1927–1941 engages critically with recent works on fascism, totalitarianism, and religion, and advances an original theoretical and methodological approach to fascism as a political faith. On this basis, the book constructs an innovative comparative research framework for reconceptualizing the history of the Legion "Archangel Michael" in Romania, 1927–1941. It contends that the Legion put forward a palingenetic political faith of a theological type, called Legionarism. To provide a comprehensive analysis of the origins, main features, mechanisms of institutionalization, and demise of this self-proclaimed salvific political fa...

Holy Legionary Youth
Founded in 1927, Romania’s Legion of the Archangel Michael was one of Europe’s largest and longest-lived fascist social movements. In Holy Legionary Youth, Roland Clark draws on oral histories, memoirs, and substantial research in the archives of the Romanian secret police to provide the most comprehensive account of the Legion in English to date. Clark approaches Romanian fascism by asking what membership in the Legion meant to young Romanian men and women. Viewing fascism "from below," as a social category that had practical consequences for those who embraced it, he shows how the personal significance of fascism emerged out of Legionaries’ interactions with each other, the state, ot...
Sfîntă tinereţe legionară: activismul fascist în România interbelică
Fondată în 1927, Legiunea Arhanghelul Mihail a fost una dintre cele mai puternice și mai longevive mișcări fasciste din Europa. Cu rădăcini în mișcările naționaliste care în secolul al XIX-lea cereau independența față de Imperiul Austro-Ungar, Legiunea a ajuns la putere urmând un drum sinuos, marcat de violență și discursuri antisemite și ultranaționaliste. Sub conducerea carismaticului Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, organizația s-a consolidat de-a lungul anilor, atrăgând tot mai mulți membri. A împrumutat uniformele, marșurile și estetica marțială a fascismului european și s-a bucurat de sprijin politic atât în interiorul granițelor țării, cât și în afara lor. Roland Clark merge pe firul istoriei orale, al memoriilor personale și al documentelor din arhivele naționale pentru a avea o imagine cât mai completă a mișcării fasciste din România interbelică. El oferă o nouă perspectivă asupra fascismului european în care, dincolo de analiza istorică detaliată, evidențiază impactul pe care represiunea oficială, spectacolul fascist și acțiunile legionarilor l-au avut asupra vieții de zi cu zi a oamenilor obișnuiți.
Heroes and Victims
Heroes and Victims explores the cultural power of war memorials in 20th-century Romania through two world wars and a succession of radical political changes -- from attempts to create pluralist democratic political institutions after World War I to shifts toward authoritarian rule in the 1930s, to military dictatorships and Nazi occupation, to communist dictatorships, and finally to pluralist democracies with populist tendencies. Examining the interplay of centrally articulated and locally developed commemorations, Maria Bucur's study engages monumental sites of memory, local funerary markers, rituals, and street names as well as autobiographical writings, novels, oral narratives, and film. This book reveals the ways in which a community's religious, ethnic, economic, regional, and gender traditions shaped local efforts at memorializing its war dead.
