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

p.s. If anybody had any suggestions on individuals/publications that might be interested in reviewing this book, I would be grateful for them.  Alternatively, if you had any ideas on how else to spread the word on the book's publication--through listservs like this one, for example--I would also be grateful for that.  My family is in contact with the American-Hungarian Federation, Hungarian-American Coalition, and Hungarian Embassy, but we are interested in exploring other outlets as well.  Especially coming on the heels of the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, it seems a good time to spread the word on all things Hungary-related!  :)

Subject: [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 twentieth. In 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:
