Recenzje

"Written in a very interesting way, surprising the complexity of the war and the way how it affected all the sectors of life from this time, the book edited by Ana Victoria Sima and Teodora-Alexandra Mihalache, entitled: Propaganda and Mobilisation in Transylvania during World War I, is an important tool that should not miss from the library of any historian interested on modern or contemporary history."
(Iuliu-Marius Morariu, Astra Salvensis, VI/2018)
