This account sets the revolutionary events of 1956 in their full context. It has been written by a team of Hungarian scholars using a wealth of hitherto inaccessible evidence - documents, interviews and other material - from Hungary and abroad, including much that is entirely new and much that was only available in censored form. The result is the first authentic history of the uprising which sent shock-waves through the Cold War world and, despite its suppression, provided a moral and political foundation for the post-Soviet nation. The English version, specially adapted and extended, is prefaced by a substantial historical introduction by George SchIpflin (LSE) on Hungary after World War II.
