Review

A Testament of Revolution will leave no doubt in any reader's mind that the communist puppet governments of Eastern Europe were tyrannical and thuggish and that the Hungarians, whatever their other defects and problems as a nation, deserve full credit for their courage in taking on Goliath while the rest of the world stood by. - Michael Korda, The Wall Street Journal
