As Romania faced its most desperate hours during World War I, Queen Marie, a granddaughter of Queen Victoria and Emperor Alexander II, found herself at the heart of a nation fighting for survival. Her "Jurnal de război: 1917-1918" offers an unfiltered account of this tumultuous period, revealing the immense personal and national struggles.

With Bucharest occupied and the royal court in refuge, Queen Marie tirelessly served as a nurse, tending to wounded soldiers and those afflicted by disease, earning the devotion of her people as the "Mother of the Wounded." Beyond her humanitarian efforts, she actively championed Romania's cause on the international stage, navigating complex political landscapes and defying formidable adversaries. This diary lays bare her deepest fears, her unwavering resolve, and her candid, sometimes critical, observations of leaders and events, offering an intimate glimpse into the mind of a queen determined to protect her country amidst despair and betrayal.
