Features: This book provides a comprehensive and in-depth study of the 1956 Hungarian Uprising from the perspective of great power relations, particularly focusing on the role of the Soviet Union in this event under the Cold War context. The author adopts a rigorous academic approach as a historian, guided by the principle of seeking truth from facts, and avoids being confined to existing conclusions. Based on historical facts, the author conducts independent analysis and judgment. The author fully utilizes newly released historical materials, especially recently declassified archival documents, to reveal the profound international background of this event and powerfully argue that the Hungarian people's attempt to break free from great power control, implement economic and political reforms, and independently seek a development path suited to their national conditions ended in a difficult and tragic outcome.
