The Transition To Democracy In Hungary (Basees/Routledge Series On Russian And East European Studies)

Unlike in other countries of Eastern Europe where the opposition to communism came in the form of single mass movements led by charismatic leaders such as Vaclav Havel and Lech Walesa, in Hungary the opposition was very fragmented. This book focuses on the key role played by Àrpád Göncz, Hungary's first post-communist president, in bringing about the end of communism, uniting diverse opposition elements, and in establishing securely the post-communist regime.
