SOMOGY MEGYE 1848 ŐSZÉN 147 SOMOGY COUNTY IN THE FALL OF 1848 AT THE TIME OF THE JELLASICS ATTACK í The study has attempted to present an overall picture of the critical days of the Hungarian bour­geois revolution and the freedom fight. The first two chapters explain how County Defence was organi­sed, why it proved unsuccessful and sumarizes eco­nomic-social class contrandictions prior to the em­peror's counter-revolution. It presents summarized facts and figures of problems on organizing the na­tional guard in Somogy County. From the third chapter onwards, the study is a chronicle of attacks made and steps taken by the emperor's army, of the incompetence of County De­fence and of complete collapse. On the basis of written reports left behind by commanders and town­chips that took part in the guerilla fighting the clo­sing chapter summarizes facts and figures on how popular guerilla warefare unfolded in Somogy Coun­ty. Finally, the study presents a picture of the pat­riotism of the population and the reasons for the popular defensive war. A. Andrássy
