After the Hungarian Revolution in November 1956, the entire world became aware of the Hungarians-the independent people who defied the might of Soviet Russia in defense of their national freedom and traditions.

Most of the material heretofore available on the history of Hungary has come to readers through the distorting media of foreign languages and foreign sympathies. Macartney tells the story tersely, combining a superbly readable and exciting style with meticulous scholarship, while displaying an unusual sense for narrative and acute perception into character.
