The seminal history and analysis of the Hungarian Revolution and the workers’ councils, perhaps the single most important revolutionary event ever, and this is simply the best book on it.

“In the society they were glimpsing through the dust and smoke of the battle in the streets, there would be no Prime Minister, no government of professional politicians, and no officials of bosses ordering them around…

For years to come all important questions for revolutionaries will boil down to simple queries: Are you for or against the programme of the Hungarian Revolution? Are you for or against workers’ management of production? Are you for or against the rule of the Workers’ Councils?’
