In the Name of the Working Class: Budapest's Police Chief During the Hungarian Revolution Tells the Extraordinary and Terrible Story of 1956 Paperback - 1980

by Crepax, Guido


From the publisher

Sandor Kopacsi was Budapest's chief of police when the Hungarian Revolution erupted on October 23, 1956. In a dramatic shift of allegiance, Kopacsi-once a Communist true believer-refused to obey orders to disperse demonstrators demanding liberalization of the regime and withdrawal of Russian troops from Hungary. Arrested several weeks later for his role in the uprising and ultimately convicted, Kopacsi survived to write this extraordinary memoir, the only blow-by-blow insider's account of the first armed challenge to Soviet domination of Eastern Europe. The result is a riveting, eloquent and unique account of Hungary's heroic bid for freedom written by a man who witnessed and participated in the revolution.
