Dvanáct dnů Příběh maďarského povstání 1956

This readable and impressive monograph on the brutally suppressed Hungarian uprising begins in 1944 and brings the history of the twelve revolutionary days, which are the focus of the book set in the global context of the time, up to the present day. He combines well-known and lesser-known facts in a way that will be appreciated by anyone interested in the history of the time and region. The book also includes newly released official documents and archival material, family diaries and eyewitness accounts. Sebestyen's authorial insight is all the more valuable because the ambiguous, in many ways still unresolved events of the 1950s have not yet received proper historical and social treatment, even in the scene itself, the author's native Hungary.
