For My Legionnaires - Paperback

Corneliu Zelea Codreanu (1899-1938) is today a Romanian national hero but he remains virtually unknown outside his native country. From his early 20s, he almost single-handedly created and led a new national movement, one that confronted and exposed a corrupt Romanian government that had sold out to Jewish interests. Enduring countless attacks, assaults, de-privations, imprisonments, isolation, and abuse, Codreanu nonetheless persevered under impossible conditions. He succeeded where others failed, due largely to his high moral character, vision, and rectitude, combined with a deep and profound sense of Orthodox Christian spirituality. A man of unrelenting courage, he never surrendered, never quit, and never lost faith in his Romanian people.

This book is Codreanu's autobiography, from age 18 to 36. As fate would have it, he would live only two and a half more years-murdered, on the orders of his own king, at age 39.

Codreanu's life is a true lesson-not only in resilience and courage, but also regarding the perils of a malicious and self-interested Jewish minority. We have much to learn from this remarkable young man.

Never before appearing in a scholarly format, this translation of Codreanu's lifework has been expertly revised and re-edited by Thomas Dalton, PhD. It will be the standard translation for years to come.
