The book is the result of the twenty-year-long research conducted by the author on the unification of Romanian provinces at the beginning of the XXth century. That unification became possible only due to the devoted generation of its citizens who set the national interests higher than personal and party ones. In the World War I Romania was one of the Russia's allies. After the German occupation all that was left from Romania was a small territory of present-day Moldova. The Romanian monarch was getting ready to leave the country, and it seemed like the state of Romania ceased its existence. But on March 27, 1918, Basarabia declared its desire to unite with Romania. Chernovtsy, Bukovina, Transylvania and Bonata followed it. Transdniestria didn't join them by mere accident. But politics is just a background of the book; foreground is represented by the lives of the people who made that union possible. The experience and the example of that generation should inspire the modern one. The book includes the unique documents that have been thought to be irretrievably lost and more than 1000 documentary photographs.
