Hungary: The Unwilling Satellite

""Hungary: The Unwilling Satellite"" is a comprehensive historical account of Hungary's political, social, and economic development from the end of World War II to the 1980s. The book focuses on Hungary's relationship with the Soviet Union and how it shaped the country's political landscape during the Cold War. The author, John Flournoy Montgomery, examines the rise of communism in Hungary, the failed revolution of 1956, and the subsequent Soviet intervention. He also covers the economic reforms of the 1960s and 1970s, the cultural and intellectual movements of the time, and the political changes that led to Hungary's transition to democracy in the late 1980s. Montgomery's analysis is based on extensive research and interviews with key figures in Hungarian politics and society. The book provides a nuanced understanding of Hungary's complex history and its place in the international arena during the Cold War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
