Kurzbeschreibung
At four o'clock in the morning on a Sunday in November 1956, the city of Budapest was awakened by the shattering sound of Russian tanks tearing the city apart. The Hungarian revolution -- five brief, glorious days of freedom that had yielded a glimpse at a different kind of future -- was over.
But there was a bridge at Andau, on the Austrian border, and if a Hungarian could reach that bridge, he was nearly free. It was about the most inconsequential bridge in Europe, but by an accident of history it became, for a few flaming weeks, one of the most important bridges in the world, for across its unsteady planks fled the soul of a nation....
Here is James A. Michener at his most gripping, with a historic account of a people in desperate revolt, a true story as searing and unforgettable as any of his bestselling works of fiction.

Format:Taschenbuch
I was totally blown away by this book. There were some parts of it that made me cry, because it seemed that these people suffered in silence. It also made me angry, since it showed the hypocrisy of both the communist Russians that savagely put down these revolts; and how the Americans did nothing to help the Hungarians become a democracy. As a Westerner, I feel that we let these people down, and this book shows it by how the author attempts to apologize for America's non-action. This book is a wake-up call for those would-be communists out there. It is also a wakeup call for all those people who pay lip-service to America's dedication to the free world. This book is important because not only did it show how communism failed; it also showed how America, when it was faced with the ultimatew test to defend it's ideology, failed as well. Read this book, if it's the only one you'll read this year.

This book is a very true account of what happened during the tragic Hungarian Revolution. As a Hungarian-American, I was fascinated to learn more about the history of Hungary. It is a first-hand view as witnessed by James A. Michener. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in European history.

Before I read this book I knew very little about the Hungarian Revolution. Now I know why. The American government did not support the revolution as it had pledged it would. This book makes me wonder about the other historical occurences that we never here about. What else has happened?

Excellent story about overshadowed history
I read Bridge at Andau while in Budapest this spring. It was amazing to be in the places where this terrible history took place while reading Michener's account of the events. Lesen Sie weiter...

Outstandingly Realistic
James Michner departed from his usual epics, about the far east and the Pacific. He handles the matter of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution with some great detail and realism.

Why did this happen anyway?
Michener picked out a sad yet incredibly important event to be the subject of this novel. This is the story of the short-lived Hungarian Revolution of the 50s. Lesen Sie weiter...
