Hajdu Tibor: The Hungarian Soviet Republic - Studia historica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae 131. (Budapest, 1979)

Tibor Hajdú THE HUNGARIAN SOVIET REPUBLIC The fuller version of this study was published in 1969 in Hungarian as the second part of Tibor Hajdu’s two-volume history of the 1918— 1919 revolutions. An abridged version appeared as part of the 10 volume History of Hungary. It is this latter form that is slightly altered here for the non-Hungarian reader. From reviews on the 1969 edition: “ . . . Hajdu’s narrative on Hun­gary draws on an astonishing range of published and unpublished sources and omits nothing that has the slightest bearing on his subject. His prodigious research... combined with his remarkably objective reading of the Western literature have resulted in a factually un­impeachable study. . .” (Slavic Review, Urbana, 111.) “Tibor Hajdú has already made a name for himself with his earlier works as a first-rate researcher. In his lecture held at the Memorial Session (in 1969) he stressed that the problems of the revolutions were closely connected with those of modern Hungarian history. . . With this synthesis, we have a more solid basis for discussing these issues in detail.” (Ungarn-Jahrbuch, Munich) AKADÉMIAI KIADÓ BUDAPEST
