Michael of Romania

His Majesty the King is a hero of our days. A silent hero, lonely, and full of delicacy, but with a courage and faith that make him unique in the history of his kinsmen. The picture on the cover shows Michael I, in September 1940, a few days after he became, for the second time, the King of Romanians. This is how the head of the Romanian state was looking like, being a division general at the age of eighteen. No more then four years later, the Hollywood star look-alike teenager will change Romania’s destiny and the WWII’s course, by the action he took on August 23, 1944. Seating on the throne of Romania in the place of his grandfather, King Ferdinand I, surnamed the Loyal, Prince Michael became the king of Romanians in 1927, at the age of six. He lived throughout the XXth century, being one of the models in the Romanian history. He inaugurated the new century and the third millenium with the same courage and faith.
