Prof. Pók's book, written with a real literary talent, systematizes a huge historical bibliography, and also clarifies key issues for the history of Hungary and provides answers for the past of the Central Europe. Florin Abraham, Member of the Board of the Romanian National Council for the Study of Securitate Archives

Excellent, captivating and uncompromising book about us and our past, one of the most significant restatements of our thinking... The essays challenge our views and stereotypes and they are a pleasure to read. If any work has a chance to correct the distortions of our memory, this is it.

Roman Holec, senior researcher of the Institute of History of the Slovak Academy of Sciences
