Diplomacy and DisregardThe Hungarian Revolution and the United Nations 19561963\nAuthor(s): Andrs Nagy\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Indiana University Press, United States\nImprint: Indiana University Press\nISBN-13: 9780253070272, 978-0253070272\nSynopsis\nBetween 1956 and 1963, the United Nations grappled with the \""Hungarian question\""; namely, what it should do about the events and aftermath of the country's 1956 Revolution. Cold War tensions, anxieties over the concurrent Suez crisis, and ignorance and indifference about Hungary influenced how UN member states responded to this \""internal affair\"" and its potentially dangerous effects on international relations. \n Diplomacy and Disregard draws upon previously inaccessible documents, including UN archival materials, Hungarian government and secret service papers, and personal collections held by UN officials across the globe, to reveal the UN's contradictory rhetorical and practical responses to the Hungarian Revolution.
