About this product
Product Information
Imre Nagy, Martyr of the Nation is a study of the ways in which the memory of the martyred Prime Minister and the story of the 1956 Revolution influenced political socialization in Hungary. The study begins with Nagy's 1989 funeral and the role memorialization played in the politics of transition, continuing with a review of the important personages and events that informed Nagy's life and afterlife, and concludes in the tumultuous politics following the establishment of the Republic in 1989.

Benziger's book is an important and welcome contribution to the study of the contested public memory of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence in Hungary. It explains how the K d r regime manufactured an 'alternative history' of the Revolution and its leader, Imre Nagy, and how this set of lies continues to function as a 'historical alternative' in contemporary Hungarian politics and society. Especially welcome is Benziger's survey of how the Revolution is taught in Hungarian secondary schools, and how the artificially sustained debate led to the Budapest street riots on the 50th anniversary of the Revolution., 'He who controls the past controls the future,' George Orwell wrote in Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984), 'and he who controls the present controls the past.' Karl P. Benziger, the author of this thoughtful look at the often politicized memories and assessments of Imre Negy, prime minister of Hungary during the 1956 Revolution, does not allow any of them to prejudice his own view., Drawing upon the world of Janos M. Ranier, Nagy's biographer, and other Hungarian scholars, Benziger guides readers through the tumultuous days of revolition, a period that witnessed Nagy's second prime ministry and his ever greater awareness that the NewCourse was no longer enough....original...., Benziger's book is an important and welcome contribution to the study of the contested public memory of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence in Hungary.
