Review this book!
Michener's documentary account of the Hungarian revolt against the Communists in 1956 is virulently anti-Russian.

Publisher Notes
By a trick of fate, the Andau Bridge becomes a lifeline to freedom for Hungarians fleeing the Russians in 1956
Media Reviews
"Out of this sweet and bitter crusade, with its incredible courage and equally unfathomable heartbreak, Michener has made this book, a sob in his throat meanwhile and surges of passion bidding his pulse beat quickly. No doubt it might in some way have been a better book if he had set it aside to cool for a while. What is ideological remains blurred, and his violent rejection of Russian Communism may seem brash, merely eloquent and belated. But how glad we can be even so that the writing was done at white heat."
