Poveştile nespuse ale frontului românesc (1916-1918)
The untold stories of the Romanian front (1916-1918)

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of our study is to create, based on a rich memoirist literature dedicated to the First World War, a presentation of the 1916 Romanian military campaign, in a different manner than that of the official historiography. The memoirist literature is the subject of a double analysis – one with the taxonomy of the Romanians describing their experiences, the other, an inventory of the main themes appearing in journals and war memoirs – aside from the omnipresent façade of heroism, patriotism, and positive self portraits. The events of 1916 are being analyzed, they way in which batters are constructed, the defeat of the Romanian army and its main causes, the reports of the Romanian soldiers and officers on the Romanian battlefield.
