"In studying the Cold War it is easy to overlook the Hungarian attempt to overthrow the Soviets in 1956, so this books is a must read for a full view of Eastern Europe and Soviet machinations. The names can be a bit daunting to keep straight, but well worth the effort as there are some very heroic and sympathetic people in this story that deserve to be remembered."

"I read this on the flight to Budapest this summer. I really know (knew!) nothing about Hungary and wanted to have some kind of familiarity with its recent history.

I am SO glad I picked this up. It is written in an easy to read, narrative style, but still heavy on the history and details.

Having read this prior to my visit, I appreciated all of the monuments (official and not) that are scattered around Budapest (from the shoes on the Danube, to Monument Park, to the bullet holes left in the buildings in Pest...).

I highly recommend it if you want to know more about Hungary's role in WWII. It also makes an interesting study in social movements."

"This is a well written account of the heroic/tragic 1956 Hungarian uprising against Soviet forces.

Having spent years visiting Hungary on business this helped tie many things together for me."

"Interesting Cold War history about what the Russians did to the Hungarians, and how the rest of the world didn't really notice because the Suez Canal crisis was going on the same week. Lots of detail, goes nearly hour by hour through the whole episode."
