Ungváry Krisztián - Kiugrás a history

October 15, 1944 is one of the most dramatic days in Hungarian history. It decisively influenced the fate of hundreds of thousands, while also determining the course of the Second World War. Miklós Horthy and his government made an attempt to escape the war on this day.
But what was behind the jump attempt? What was the fate of the armistice and who were responsible for its failure? Krisztián Ungváry presents the events of the previous days and weeks and what happened that day in disturbing detail, hour by hour. However, his writing aims not only to present the events and characters in every detail. He undertakes unique history writing, because through the exploration of past events, he also examines decision-making possibilities. In addition to the history of the jump, we also get to know the possible alternatives from the volume, which can greatly contribute to the formation of Hungarian memory politics, while we also understand why the events of the time had world political significance.
