Unique Book Designed for Hungarian-Americans

The first scholarly history of Hungarian-Americans in nearly four decades has just appeared in print. Authored by Dr. S. B. Vardy, Professor of History at Duquesne University and Adjunct Professor of East European History at the University of Pittsburgh, this work carries the history of the Hungarians in America from the 16th century right up to the 1980s. It pays particular attention to their social, cultural, religious, intellectual and political life, as well as to the rise and functioning of their most significant organizations, institutions, and personalities. As noted by one of the professional readers of this work, “Professor Vardy’s manuscript is a most reliable, scholarly, yet eminently readable history of the Hungarian-Americans and their achievements.” As observed by another reviewer, “the book’s special merit is that for the first time in American scholarship, it summarizes the history and inner life of the post-World War II immigrants from Hungary, including the DP’s, the 47-ers, the 56-ers, and those who came after them in the course of the past quarter century. It is an accurate, informative and enjoyable work that should be in the library of every American and Hungarian-American who is interested in the colorful ethnic roots and components of American society.”
