A History of Hungary
by Laszlo Kontler

This volume provides an up-to-date and comprehensive survey of Hungarian history, from the pre-historic age to the present day. László Kontler adeptly steers the reader through ancient times, the great migration of peoples, and the creation and 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.

"This is a magnificent work and, indeed, the best survey of Hungarian history ever published in any language.. . . This is a book which serves not only the general reader but also the specialist with an interest in just one part of Hungary's history. It is comprehensive, inspiring and provoking. "
--Martyn Rady, School of Slavonic and East European Studies
