Sommario/riassunto

In October 1956, a spontaneous uprising took Hungarian Communist authorities by surprise, prompting Soviet authorities to invade the country. After a few days of violent fighting, the revolt was crushed. This collection focuses on the impact of the revolution in Hungary, in Canada, and around the world.
