Sword of the Turul
* Due to its historical merit, this book is mentioned on the site of the International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation.* From the British led anti-Nazi resistance in Hungary to the Soviet prisons of Lubyanka, Lefortovo, and Vladimir, then to Whitehall and North America - this book is based on a true story, now told for the first time. What did a group led by British intelligence, a church in a cave, and a missing Swedish diplomat all have in common in World War II Hungary -- and why did most of the players in this drama disappear? Shocking facts are uncovered about war-torn Budapest, British intelligence, and SMERSH -- and how they were all connected. A 60 year old deception is exposed *The scanned prison record at the beginning of the book, which proves that Karoly Schandl was imprisoned by the Soviet Union from Dec 1944 until 1956, is authentic, as are the revealing pages from Karoly's and Terezia's memoirs.* This book is on Amazon worldwide, Forbes Book Club, Ecampus, and is listed on Ingram.

East Central European Crisis Discourses in the Twentieth Century
The term “crisis,” with its complex history, has emerged as one of the pivotal notions of political modernity. As such, reconstructing the ways the discourse of crisis functioned in various contexts and historical moments gives us a unique insight not only into a series of conceptual transformations, but also into the underlying logic of key political and intellectual controversies of the last two centuries. Studying the ways crisis was experienced, conceptualized, and negotiated can contribute to the understanding of how various visions of time and history shape political thinking and, conversely, how political and social reconfigurations frame our assumptions about temporality and spat...
Turul flieg
Elisabeth von Österreich-Ungarn besuchte Lady Rothschild am Genfer See und verbrachte die Nacht im Hotel Beau-Rivage. Ihre angeschlagene Gesundheit hielt sie wach. Um sich von diesen Problemen abzulenken, dachte sie über die schönsten Jahre ihres Lebens nach. Mystisch verklärt wird Kaiserin Elisabeth gerne gesehen und beschrieben. Es gibt aber noch ein anderes Bild von ihr, dass bisher weniger beachtet wurde. Ihr Wunsch nach einem eigenen Leben mit mehr Liberalität und eigener Verantwortung erfüllte sie sich für sie in Ungarn. Bereits als Kind kam sie durch ihren ungarischen Haushaltslehrer Johann von Maylath, ein Mann von liberaler Gesinnung, mit der ungarischen Geschichte in Berührung. Kurz nach der Hochzeit mit Franz-Joseph reiste sie erstmals nach Ungarn. Insgesamt fast sieben Jahre lebte sie in Budapest und auf Schloss Gödöllö. Dort konnte sie sich dem Druck und den Repressionen des Wiender Hof entziehen. Ihre Intelligenz, die Belesenheit und die Tatsache, dass sie die rückständigen Ansichten am Wiener Hof, hatten ihr viele Feinde gebracht. In Ungarn wurde sie dagegen verehrt.

With Their Backs to the Mountains
With Their Backs to the Mountains is the history of a stateless people, the Carpatho-Rusyns, and their historic homeland, Carpathian Rus?, located in the heart of central Europe. ÿA little over 100,000 Carpatho-Rusyns are registered in official censuses but their number could be as high as 1,000,000, the greater part living in Ukraine and Slovakia. The majority of the diaspora?nearly 600,000?lives in the US. At present, when it is fashionable to speak of nationalities as ?imagined communities? created by intellectuals or elites who may or may not live in the historic homeland, Carpatho-Rusyns provide an ideal example of a people made?or some would say still being made?before our very eyes. ...
