Starts with The Message of the Hungarian Revolution and then addresses Part 1: Hungary and the World; Part 2: Hungary Ten Years After. Stephen Barlay has contributed, as Appendix I and II, a thorough bibliography of the Revolution, and a most useful chronology of events. No event has moved the conscience of the free world as deeply as the Hungarian revolution of 1956. No other event has assumed such equivocal political significance in the space of ten years. This historic moment can best be characterized by the psychoanalytical formula of over-determination, the plurality of meanings inherent in a single act, a single thought. Published in the tenth year after the Hungarian rising, this book examines that particular watershed in the history of postwar communism as well as setting out its origins and possible consequences. Hungary 1956 was not just an event that held the world enthralled but helpless: it led to radical changes within the country and within the entire Soviet bloc. The Russian leaders could not afford again to find themselves so obviously on the opposite side of popular forces. In a comparable way, the Western powers began to realize that to back revolution without the ability to give effective support was an act without any promise of success. Between them, the contributors to this volume help to explain the significance of the first major revolt against Russian hegemony in southeast Europe after the war, and to look at the future implications as well as past horrors. Tamás Aczél (16 December 1921 - 18 April 1994) was a Kossuth Prize-winning Hungarian poet, writer, journalist and university professor. Initially, Aczél came out with poems; the first collection of these was published in 1941. Later, being favored by the postwar Hungarian government, he wrote agitational poems and schematic novels, for them he was awarded the Kossuth Prize (1949) and the Stalin Prize (1952). By 1953 Aczél radically broke with his earlier works; he gave up his an agitative poetry and became a leading figure of the literary opposition formed around Imre Nagy, that initiated the dismissal of the Stalinist-Rákosist literary control. After the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 was repressed, Aczél fled the country and emigrated to England (1957-1966), before eventually settled in the United States (1966-1994). He became one of the best-known figures of the Hungarians emigrants and did a lot to make the story of the Hungarian Revolution more known. In the United States he was a professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst until his death.
