Description
An engaging and impactful book about the brutally suppressed Hungarian uprising begins in 1944 and provides a detailed history of the twelve revolutionary days of October and November 1956, which form the core of the book, extending to the present day. The author combines well-known and lesser-known facts in a way that will be appreciated by anyone interested in the history of that era and region. The book also includes newly published official documents and archival materials, family diaries, and eyewitness testimonies. While the Czech public has some general idea about the Hungarian events around 1956, the book by British journalist and historian of Hungarian descent Victor Sebestyen represents the first comprehensive monograph on the Hungarian uprising, contextualized within Hungarian history and international situations, accessible in the Czech language.
