Paperback. Condition: New. 'This country is like a little island, where the people live so happily, as if nothing was wrong with the world.' When Ralph Brewster wrote those lines, in the summer of 1943, Hungary's involvement in WWII was still barely felt in Budapest. Less than a year later the Nazis took over.
