Memoirs

This inspiring memoirs reveal the complete tale of József Mindszenty, who has become a national symbol of Christian and national resistance to Communism. Today's strong, vocal Christian leadership and testimony in Hungary may be traced back to his courageous, unyielding leadership against the atheistic communist regime.

The communist regime of his country seized Mindszenty, threw him in jail, and subjected him to both physical and mental abuse. He was locked up for eight long years in solitary confinement. He then hid at the U.S. embassy in Budapest for a total of fifteen years after the Hungarian uprising of 1956.

As a first-hand account of a Church and country under ruthless Communist dominance throughout the Cold War period, this work is an amazing addition to modern history. Mindszenty's departure from the embassy, trip to the Vatican, and deposition to the archiepiscopal office are all explained, as are the reasons behind them. This is a thrillingly unforgettable memoir, that will show the battle Mindszenty fought against communism, and how we can be inspired by his witness in living in today's totalitarian-styled society.
