Synopsis:

"Immeasurably stirring." The Atlantic MonthlyAt four o'clock in the morning on a Sunday in November 1956, the city of Budapest was awakened by the shattering sound of invading Russian tanks. The Hungarian revolution was over. But there was a bridge at Andau, on the Austrian border, and if a Hungarian could reach that bridge, he was might yet escape to freedom. A true story by bestselling author James A. Michener s searing and unforgettable as any of his works of fiction.


Review:

"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."

G. N. Shuster, New York Herald Tribune Book Review, 03/03/1957

Review:

"It may be too soon to embalm the Hungarian revolution between the covers of a book. It was in many ways, a unique event whose causation is not likely to be completely clear until we are father away from it. But James A. Michener has made as good a job of it as could be made at this time, and it would not be easy to find anyone who could do better. In so far as he has limited himself to describing actual events, told by actual participants, he has performed a service for which today's historians may eventually be grateful. Today's readers will be grateful now...."

John MacCormac, New York Times, 03/03/1957
