Explosion The Hungarian Uprising of 1956

In late October, 50 years ago, the world witnessed one of the largest leaderless spontaneous revolutions. Triggered by a confluence of fateful events, Hungarian students led hundreds of thousands of their countrymen in an open revolt against the Soviet-sponsored government. Matthews, a journalist at Radio Free Europe, realised he had a ringside seat and saved every scrap of news. Here, at long last, from those journalist reports and memoirs, he recreates a picture of what it was like to live through that exhilirating time.Matthews, John P. C. is the author of 'Explosion The Hungarian Uprising of 1956', published 2007 under ISBN 9780781811743 and ISBN 0781811740.
