註釋Escape From Fear is a powerful and harrowing firsthand account of the flight of 200,000 Hungarian refugees in the wake of the Soviet Union's crushing of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. Written by Martin A. Bursten, a young American journalist who witnessed the events firsthand, this book is a vivid and detailed chronicle of the refugee crisis that followed the Soviet invasion of Hungary.Bursten's account is both deeply personal and thoroughly researched, drawing on his own experiences as well as interviews with refugees, aid workers, and government officials. He describes the chaos and confusion that characterized the early days of the crisis, as hundreds of thousands of Hungarians fled their homes and attempted to cross the border into Austria.The book also explores the political and diplomatic dimensions of the crisis, as Western governments struggled to respond to the refugee influx and the Soviet Union attempted to suppress news of the crisis. Bursten provides a nuanced and insightful analysis of the complex political forces at work, including the role of the United States, the United Nations, and the Soviet Union.Throughout the book, Bursten vividly portrays the human toll of the crisis, describing the suffering and resilience of the Hungarian refugees and the heroic efforts of aid workers and volunteers. He also examines the long-term impact of the crisis, including the lasting trauma experienced by many refugees and the political repercussions of the Soviet Union's brutal suppression of the Hungarian Revolution.Escape From Fear is a powerful and deeply moving book that offers a compelling and insightful perspective on one of the most significant refugee crises of the 20th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the Cold War, the politics of migration, or the human experience of displacement and trauma.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
