Hungary was not important enough to resist the Soviets, its democratic opposition failed to win American sympathy, the US simply had no leverage over the Soviets, who sacrificed cooperation with the West for a closed sphere in Eastern Europe. The imposition of a Stalinist regime assured Hungary's unconditional loyalty to Soviet imperial needs. Unlike the GDR, Eastern Europe was never considered a bargaining chip for bettering relations with the West. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book analyzes why, given all its idealism and power, the US failed even in its minimal aims concerning the states of Eastern Europe. Eventually both powers pursued power politics: the Soviets in a naked form, the US subtly, but both with little regard for the fate of Hungarians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e László Borhi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9633861403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789633861400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Central European University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.77d","brand":"László Borhi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44132504797439,"sku":"9789633861400","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eee1dfb3-076d-4027-8c7d-2a176a7aa246.jpg?v=1687480600","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hungary-in-the-cold-war-l-szl-borhi-9789633861400","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
