A history of Hungary

by László Kontler

"This volume provides an up-to-date and comprehensive survey of Hungarian history, from the pre-historic age to the present day. Laszlo Kontler adeptly steers the reader through ancient times, the great migration of peoples, and the creation of troubles of a Christian monarchy that arose in the region wedged between the Germanic and Russian lands. The factors involved in the centuries-long process which has put Hungary at a disadvantage in coping with the challenges of modernity are also explored; including the country's economic backwardness, the social structure, revolutions, wars of independence, and territorial losses."--BOOK JACKET.
