Review: I liked the concision - a lot in a few pages. Not sure it covers all aspects of every eventful period adequately, eg the 1956 uprising or the fall of the Wall; if you've studied these separately you'll be looking for something new and revealing. One hopes it will be useful to undergraduate students studying Eastern European history but not Hungary as a main subject, as it comes from an eminent historian who wrote in a very engaging style, informative throughout. Review: I am Hungarian and I love history. I was looking forward to reading this book and getting my English husband and grown-up children to read it and understand a bit of my country's history. The book is written in an irritatingly rambling style. The aim is I guess is to put Hungarian history in the wider context. It does not succeed. It keeps on going off target, uses convoluted sentences filled with irrelevant details and ramblings. I am now third of the way through it and getting more annoyed by the minute. There are morsels of interest but the chatty style and the diversions do really grate. Edward Lucas said of the book that "the insights outweigh the muddle but not by much". I am not even sure of that at this point. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #363,392 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4,169 in History of Europe #142,213 in Textbooks & Study Guides | | Customer reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (44) | | Dimensions | 12.8 x 2.4 x 19.6 cm | | Edition | Main | | ISBN-10 | 1788160517 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1788160513 | | Item weight | 1.05 Kilograms | | Language | English | | Print length | 288 pages | | Publication date | 5 December 2019 | | Publisher | Profile Books Ltd | ## Images ![Hungary: A Short History - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81W8pF0ec5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***N on 16 June 2022* I liked the concision - a lot in a few pages.

I was looking forward to reading this book and getting my English husband and grown-up children to read it and understand a bit of my country's history. The book is written in an irritatingly rambling style. The aim is I guess is to put Hungarian history in the wider context. It does not succeed.

I am not even sure of that at this point. ### ⭐ Review *by V***V on 4 July 2020* If you want an accurate and objective up to date history, don't buy this. An apologist for the Orban régime, the late Norman Stone does little to justify his reputation and factual inaccuracies indicate a lack of rigour in preparing the text. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/408236778-hungary-a-short-history](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/408236778-hungary-a-short-history) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
