Dealing with Dictators: The United States, Hungary,

and East Central Europe, 1942-1989

Prof. László Borhi

Peter A. Kadas Associate Chair & Professor of Central European History

Indiana University

 

 

Dealing with Dictators, explores America’s Cold War efforts to make the dictatorships of Eastern Europe less tyrannical and more responsive to U.S. interests. Through careful study of American and Hungarian sources, Borhi assesses why some policies toward Hungary achieved their goals while others did not. The process by which the transition from Soviet satellite to independent state occurred in Hungary sheds light on the dynamics of systemic change in international politics at the end of the Cold War.
