"In I LIVE AGAIN, Ileana tells of her own country in the last war, of the advent of the Communists, of her adventurous effort to live with—or in spite of—them, of her eventual escape, and of the way in which she reached her present Massachusetts home by way of Argentina.
Renowned as one of the most democratic members of European royalty, Princess Ileana was founder of the first school for Social Workers in Romania, and head of both the Romanian Y.W.C.A. and Girl Scouts. During World War II, she became a nurse in the Romanian Red Cross and opened a hospital on her estate. Her activities in the latter were summarily stopped when she was forced into exile by the Communists."
