Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Hungary

"Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Hungary" is a foundational historical and political analysis of one of Central Europe's most turbulent periods following the First World War. Written by Oszkár Jászi, a prominent sociologist and former minister in the Károlyi government, the work provides a sophisticated insider's perspective on the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the subsequent political upheavals that reshaped the Hungarian state.The book meticulously details the three distinct phases of this era: the liberal-democratic revolution of 1918, the short-lived Hungarian Soviet Republic under Béla Kun, and the ensuing counter-revolutionary movement that led to the rise of a new authoritarian order. Jászi examines the deep-seated social, economic, and ethnic tensions that fueled these transitions, offering a profound critique of both radical revolutionary fervor and reactionary violence. By blending personal experience with rigorous sociological observation, "Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Hungary" serves as a vital document for understanding the complex dynamics of post-war Europe and the fragile nature of democratic transitions. It remains an essential read for scholars of Hungarian history, political science, and the ideological conflicts that defined the early 20th century.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
