For My Legionaries (The Iron Guard) by Corneliu Zelea Codreanu

For My Legionaries is the passionate autobiography of Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, a Romanian patriot from the early 20th Century who founded the Legion of Michael the Archangel, also known as The Iron Guard. This unprecedented movement saw itself as a crusade in the modern world, battling against liberalism, political corruption, Communism, and the threat of foreign cultural domination from Jewish organizations. Combining Christian spirituality, ethnic nationalism, supra-personal devotion to one's people and king, and a warrior ethos, which culminated in confrontations with the police and army, assassinations, public trials, and murder.

This new edition of For My Legionaries is distinguishable from previous editions by the inclusion of 100 pages of new text, footnotes, appendices and photographs which are a crucial aid to understanding the book and its context.

With an introduction by Kerry Bolton, and a historical overview of the entire history of the Legionary Movement from its beginnings to the present time by Lucian Tudor, this edition of For My Legionaries is the most comprehensive edition published to date.

Codreanu, Corneliu Zelea: - Corneliu Zelea Codreanu (1899-1938) foddes den 13 september 1899 i staden Hushi i den rumanska provinsen Moldavien. Han var grundare och ledare for Jarngardet, en kristen nationalistisk organisation som var aktiv i Rumanien under storre delen av mellankrigstiden. Medlemmarna i organisationen kallades legionarer och refererade ofta till Codreanu som Kaptenen. Hos legionarerna fanns en stark personkult kring Codreanu, och han dyrkades som en hjalte av sina anhangare. Codrenau borjade sin politiska karriar efter forsta varldskriget som en antikommunistisk agitator och som ledare for Jarngardet kom han snabbt att samla en betydande skara anhangare bland framforallt studenter och bonder, men ocksa bland intellektuella och prasterskap. Organisationen forbjods flera ganger men overlevde som underjordisk rorelse. Codreanus sjalvbiografi, Till mina legionarer, publicerades 1936 dar han berattar om sitt liv och kampen for Rumanien. 1925 gifte han sig med Elena Ilinoiu vid ett stort brollop som samlade mellan 80 - 100 000 personer som firade paret. Paret fick dottern Catalina som vid tiden da Corneliu Codreanu skrev sin Fangelsedagbok var 4 ar gammal. Natten mellan den 29 och 30 november 1938 mordades Codreanu och 14 andra medfangar under en fangtransport i en skog utanfor Bukarest.
