Interesting Facts
The 1956 Hungarian Revolution remains one of the most symbolically charged uprisings of the Cold War era—a brief yet powerful stand for national freedom against Soviet domination. Szakolczai Attila’s volume is structured into three main parts:
- Primary Sources: Includes official reports, speeches (such as those of Imre Nagy), and secret Soviet correspondence—many presented here in Hungarian for the first time.
- Memoirs and Interpretations: Examines the revolution’s significance both domestically and internationally, featuring diverse perspectives from participants, witnesses, and historians.
- Annotated Bibliography and Critical Apparatus: Summaries, indexes, and notes guide the reader through one of the most extensively documented studies on 1956.
The work reflects Osiris Kiadó’s commitment to scholarly integrity and historical preservation, shedding light on moral courage, faith, and truth-seeking during an age of oppression.
