The story of Hungary's participation in World War II is part of a much larger narrative-one that has never before been fully recounted for a non-Hungarian readership. As told by Deborah Cornelius, it is a fascinating tale of rise and fall, of hopes dashed and dreams in tatters. Using previously untapped sources and interviews she conducted for this book, Cornelius provides a clear account of Hungary's attempt to regain the glory of the Hungarian Kingdom by joining forces with Nazi Germany-a decision that today seems doomed to fail from the start. For scholars and history buff s alike, Hungary in World War II is a riveting read.Cornelius begins her study with the Treaty of Trianon, which in 1920 spelled out the terms of defeat for the former kingdom. The new country of Hungary lost more than 70 percent of the kingdom's territory, saw its population reduced by nearly the same percentage, and was stripped of fi ve of its ten most populous cities. As Cornelius makes vividly clear, nearly all of the actions of Hungarian leaders during the succeedingdecades can be traced back to this incalculable defeat.In the early years of World War II, Hungary enjoyed boom times-and the dream of restoring the Hungarian Kingdom began to rise again. Caught in the middle as the war engulfed Europe, Hungary was drawn into an alliance with Nazi Germany. When the Germans appeared to give Hungary much of its pre-World War I territory, Hungarians began to delude themselves into believing they had won their long-sought objective. Instead, the final year of the world war brought widespread destruction and a genocidal war against Hungarian Jews. Caught between two warring behemoths, the country became a battleground for German and Soviet forces. In the wake of the war, Hungary suffered further devastation under Soviet occupation and forty-five years of communist rule.The author first became interested in Hungary in 1957 and has visited the country numerous times, beginning in the 1970s. Over the years she has talked with many Hungarians, both scholars and everyday people. Hungary in World War II draws skillfully on these personal tales to narrate events before, during, and after World War II. It provides a comprehensive and highly readable history of Hungarian participation in the war, along with an explanation of Hungarian motivation: the attempt of a defeated nation to relive its former triumphs.

"Based on new archival evidence, this book examines Soviet empire building in Hungary and the American response to it." "The book analyzes why, given all its idealism and power, the U.S. failed even in its minimal aims concerning the states of Eastern Europe. Eventually both the United States and the Soviet Union pursued power politics: the Soviets in a naked form, the U.S. subtly, but both with little regard for the fate of Hungarians."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

On October 23, 1956, a popular uprising against Soviet rule swept through Hungary like a force of nature, only to be mercilessly crushed by Soviet tanks twelve days later. Only now, fifty years after those harrowing events, can the full story be told. This book is a powerful eyewitness account and a gripping history of the uprising in Hungary that heralded the future liberation of Eastern Europe. Paul Lendvai was a young journalist covering politics in Hungary when the uprising broke out. He knew the government officials and revolutionaries involved. He was on the front lines of the student protests and the bloody street fights and he saw the revolutionary government smashed by the Red Army. In this riveting, deeply personal, and often irreverent book, Lendvai weaves his own experiences with in-depth reportage to unravel the complex chain of events leading up to and including the uprising, its brutal suppression, and its far-reaching political repercussions in Hungary and neighboring Eastern Bloc countries. He draws upon exclusive interviews with Russian and former KGB officials, survivors of the Soviet backlash, and relatives of those executed. He reveals new evidence from closed tribunals and documents kept secret in Soviet and Hungarian archives. Lendvai's breathtaking narrative shows how the uprising, while tragic, delivered a stunning blow to Communism that helped to ultimately bring about its demise. One Day That Shook the Communist World is the best account of these unprecedented events.

This book is the true account of the March 1, 1944 invasion of Budapest, the occupation. persecutions and final liberation by the Russians on March 1, 1945.The book is not a tale of atrocities - although these loom in the background - it is rather a tale of maintaining relationships in impossible circumstances, surviving the edicts and rules imposed on the Jews, and tolerating getting along with neighbours in the cramped quarters of the ghetto.The book could be called a diary, since many of the events are dated, however it is rather a memoir and a novel. It is about a young Jewish girl, her three peculiar sisters, elderly parents, and husbands - although they were mostly absent in forced labour service.. It is a story of love, family, staying alive in the incessant air-raids, and avoiding getting deported to the gas chambers.Lolo, the author, is politically astute and it is fascinating to read about the war from the point of view of a country reluctantly on Germany's side. "Hungary has always picked the losing side," she complains.Many questions still asked today are answered. For example: How did Nazi Germany accomplish the Jewish pogrom with minimal effort? How much did the Hungarian people contribute to the abuse?Why was the carpet bombing of Budapest necessary? Did it have the alleged effect of demoralizing the people? As Lolo in the book asks during an air raid, "Who is liberating us now, the British or the Americans?"What was Ralph Wallenberg's role?How was D-day perceived?The story is predominantly about women - how do you maintain hygiene, modesty, and dignity when twenty people are forced into a one room apartment? How do you get any sleep? The men are depicted as well, but most of them were conscripted into labour service doing atrocious work such as cleaning up bodies after a bombing raid.One sure way of avoiding getting deported was to work for the war effort, usually an armament factory or ammunition depot. What about the bombing?Religion is dealt with sensitively. Most Jews converted in order to stay alive. What does that do to one's deepest beliefs?The most remarkable aspect of the writing is Lolo's sense of humour. She found many of the situations comical and describes the darkest adversity with a tone of irony and humility.This is the first volume of a two-volume text, the second to be published soon.John Rakos, translator, editor

Based on new archival evidence, examines Soviet Empire building in Hungary and the American response to it. Hungary was not important enough to resist the Soviets, its democratic opposition failed to win American sympathy, the US simply had no leverage over the Soviets, who sacrificed cooperation with the West for a closed sphere in Eastern Europe. The imposition of a Stalinist regime assured Hungary's unconditional loyalty to Soviet imperial needs. Unlike the GDR, Eastern Europe was never considered a bargaining chip for bettering relations with the West. The book analyzes why, given all its idealism and power, the US failed even in its minimal aims concerning the states of Eastern Europe. Eventually both powers pursued power politics: the Soviets in a naked form, the US subtly, but both with little regard for the fate of Hungarians.
