Pölöskei, Ferenc. HUNGARY AFTER TWO REVOLUTIONS (1919-1922). Budapest: Akade'miai kiadó, 1980. 148 pages. $12.50 cloth. No. 132 in the Studia Historica series of the HAS.

This study examines the period between the fall of the 1919 Hungarian soviet republic to the election of a national assembly in 1922. In a contemporary frame of reference, the author tries to show how the various components of the political structure were formed and consolidated, how civil rights were understood legally and in practice. After most revolutions or lost wars the restoration of normalcy is usually not pursued with a great deal of long-range planning. The time necessary for normalization usualy depends on the balance of power between the central government in power and the decentralized power bases or revolutionary troops and activists. The author describes the aftermath of the aborted revolution and the rising career of such persons as Miklós Horthy, István Bethlen, and Pál Teleki, as well as their efforts toward political consolidation.
