Description
A unique chapter in the history of soccer, this book focuses on Hungary's national soccer team, winner of the gold medal in the 1952 Olympic Games. The team's defeat by West Germany in the final match of the 1954 World Cup unleashed nationwide demonstrations which were early signs of the anti-Communist Revolution of 1956.
