2011. evelopment of Hungarian Military Organisation in the 14th and 15th Centuries; History of the Hungarian Holy Crown and Coronation Insignia in the Modern Age; "All means may be deployed in Hungary.": 1956 -- "Already an integral "piece of the continent" for half a thousand years, in 1456 our country as the "shield of Christianity" heroically defended Europe against the sultan's huge army at the castle of Nandorfehervar (Belgrade), winning a breathtaking victory. Since that victory, throughout the Christian world the bells toll for Hungary at noon every day, commemorating the heroes of our nation. 500 years after the siege of Nandorfehervar, in the autumn of 1956, Hungarians took up arms against an oppressive and brutal communist regime. This time the "lads of Pest" engaged the invading Soviet troops sent to crush the revolution on the streets of Budapest without having the chance for a final victory. 555 years ago the sons of many nations joined forces with an exemplary attitude for the defence of Europe, but 55 years ago Europe abandoned its bleeding child. In this book we pay tribute to the memory of Nandorfehervar and the noon bell, the Hungarian Holy Crown, as well as Budapest, and the insuppressible word of freedom, even if suppressed with bloodshed. Very good condition.
