Eugene de Thassy describes life in Hungary between 1920 and 1945. He details his wartime experiences as a young army officer and joining with the antifascist resistance. His absorbing recollections recount efforts to save Jews and others facing persecution at a time of extreme difficulty and danger.
[Thassy's] memoirs are a dramatic composition with action and excitement, filled with vivid dialogues, colourful descriptions and characterizations. At the same time, they tell a true story of his life, and those of his friends and acquaintances in Hungary during the tragic period between 1919 and 1945 – a story of righteous women and men worthy of remembrance. -- Antal Szantay, Corvinus University of Budapest, Hungary * European History Quarterly, Vol 47, No. 3 *
