A Testament of Revolution (Eastern European Series, 13) by Bela G. Liptak

Terse, staccato, like a dispatch from the front, Bela Liptaks A Testament of Revolution peels away more than four decades of intervening history to give readers a vivid, firsthand look at the brief, doomed struggle of Hungarian freedom fighters against Russian oppressors. Written in 1956 in an Austrian refugee camp, where the author had fled to escape reprisals for his role in the short-lived rebellion, Liptaks memoir compellingly sketches the conflict between university students, factory workers, and Hungarian nationalists on one side and the hated Hungarian secret police and Russian army troops on the other.--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
