Summary:

This comprehensive overview of Hungarian military history by twenty-three scholars takes a radical new look at the evolution and development of military sciences, strategy, tactics, and armed conflicts in the territory of historical and present-day Hungary. Covering the period from A.D. 1000 through NATO membership, it focuses on modern history and examines military theoreticians, border defense systems of the Ottoman period, civil control, military decision making, and operational analysis of the revolutions and independence wars, world wars, and the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact Organization. Also included are studies of Hungarian participation in European theaters of war and the evolution of the world-famous Hungarian Hussars.
