[Unicum] New Book about Hungary: Vanished by the Danube

For anybody interested, SUNY Press has just published my father's memoirs, Vanished by the Danube, of his life in Hungary from 1925 to 1956.  The book has received endorsements from Bill Clinton and Kati Marton, among others.  As written on its inside flap:

"Germany's invasion of Hungary in 1944 marked the end of a culture that had dominated Central Europe from the nineteenth century to the middle of the twentiethIn this poignant memoir, Charles Farkas offers a testament to this vanished way of life--its society, morality, personal integrity, wealth, traditions, and chivalry--as well as an eyewitness account of its destruction, begun at the hands of the Nazis and then completed under the heel of Soviet Communism."

"Vanished by the Danube" is available on Amazon.com at:
