"Over the past 35 years, Csaba Békés has been one of Hungary’s most innovative and prominent scholars of 20th-century European history. In his latest book, Hungary’s Cold War, he brings together various strands of his previous scholarship, providing a full survey of Hungary’s role in the Cold War. (…) The issue then turns to a book forum dealing with Csaba Békés's landmark book, Hungary's Cold War. (…) Békés's new book builds on more than 30 years of his own research as well as the work of others to produce a wide-ranging, illuminating survey of Hungary's role in the international system during the Cold War."
