Boards with short creases to edges. -- If there had been all-news television channels in 1956, viewers around the world would have been glued to their sets between October 23 and November 4. This book tells the story of the Hungarian Revolution in 120 original documents, ranging from the minutes of the first meeting of Khrushchev with Hungarian bosses after Stalin's death in 1953 to Yeltsin's declaration made in 1992. Other documents include letters from Yuri Andropov, Soviet Ambassador 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 that were inaccessible until the 1990s. "There is no publication, in any language, that would even approach the thoroughness, reliability, and novelty of this monumental work. Unlike all the other documentary collection, The 1956 Hungarian Revolution is based mainly on recently opened original sources in the Hungarian, Soviet and US archives." -- Contents: Preface by Árpád Göncz; Foreword by Charles Gati; Introductory Essay by Timothy Garton Ash; Editors' Introduction and Acknowledgments; Acronyms and Abbreviations; Chronology of Events; 1. Hungary Before the Revolution [Introduction; Documents No 1-24]; 2. From Demonstrations to Revolution [Introduction; Documents No 25-81]; 3. Hungary in the Aftermath [Introduction; Documents No 82-118]; Documentary Epilogue [Documents No 119-120]; Main Actors; Organizations; Bibliography; Index. Codice articolo 006940
