Before the Uprising
Estate Law, Historiography, and the Cold War
Carl S. LEAFSTEDT (2021). A Thorn in the Rosebush: The American Bartók Estate and Archives During the Cold War, 1946–1967. Reno, NV: Helena History Press, ISBN 978 1 943596 23 2
Soviet Occupation of Romania, Hungary, and Austria 1944/45–1948/49
This book compares the various aspects – political, military economic – of Soviet occupation in Austria, Hungary and Romania. Using documents found in Austrian, Hungarian, Romanian and Russian archives the authors argue that the nature of Soviet foreign policy has been misunderstood. Existing literature has focused on the Soviet foreign policy from a political perspective; when and why Stalin made the decision to introduce Bolshevik political sys…
Secret Peace Overtures, the Holocaust, and Allied Strategy vis-à-vis Germany
This article explores how the U.S. and British governments' wartime strategy against Germany affected their policies toward Hungary, a country that had allied itself with Germany when World War II began. U.S. and British leaders wanted to facilitate an Allied landing on the French coast by diverting German troops to other theaters, thinning them out as much as possible. To this end, the United States and Britain were cool toward Hungary's peace o…

Was American Diplomacy Really Tragic
Five distinguished scholars offer separate commentaries on the article by Michael Cox and Caroline Kennedy-Pipe. All of the commentators reject the broad interpretation and many of the specific arguments put forth by Cox and Kennedy-Pipe. They point out several crucial issues that are omitted from the article and raise questions about the authors' sources, use of evidence, and selective invocation of secondary literature. They regret that Cox and…
Hungary in the Cold War, 1945-1956
We Hungarian communists are realists’
This article examines Hungarian–US relations based on Hungarian archives. It argues that US officials were not always aware of the complexities of the Hungarian domestic scene or Moscow's relations with the satellites. Even so, US diplomacy was more successful than before. Cultural penetration offset communist indoctrination; diplomatic pressure brought amnesty for those imprisoned for their role in the 1956 revolution. Within the limits of inter…
Empire by Coercion
This article examines how the Soviet Union introduced its own political system in Hungary. Moscow's main purpose was not so much to export Communism as to ensure that Hungary would satisfy the Soviet Union's imperial needs unconditionally. Hungary's Communist leaders were in fact loyal to the Soviet leadership, accepted the basic tenets of Stalinist ideology, and identified their country's interests with those of the Soviet Union. However, in the…
