Krudy's Chronicles: Early Twentieth Century in Gyula Krudy's Journalism

Had there been news television channels in 1956, between October 23 and November 4 viewers would have been chained to their sets all over the world. This book tells the story of the Hungarian Revolution in 120 original documents, from the notes of the first meeting of Khroushchev with Hungarian bosses after Stalin`s death in 1953 to Yeltsin`s declaration made in 1992. In between, among others, letters of Yuri Andropov, Ambassador of the USSR in Budapest during and after the revolt. The great majority of the material appears in English for the first time and almost all come from archives, which were inaccessible until the 1990s.
