Summary:
"A pioneering work for the history of veterans' rights in Romania, this study brings into focus the laws and policies the state developed in response to the unprecedented human losses in World War I. The analysis provides insights of great interest to scholars of these themes, while it offers examples of engaged citizenship useful for an undergraduate and non-specialist audience"-- Provided by publisher.
