No one was more qualified than Mr. Antal Ullein-Reviczky to retrace the political history of Hungary during the fatal years from 1938 to 1944. Both witness and actor of this drama which was to bring the end of the old Hungary, the author of this book wanted to make known both the motives of a very little known policy and the role he himself played in it. // „The Hungarian drama, described in the pages of this book, is not only the drama of Hungary, but at the same time that of all the small countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Because, in spite of their different political constitutions and their different ethnic characteristics, as well as their divergent, often even opposed aspirations, there is a close interdependence between these countries, which establishes a de facto solidarity between them. This should be taken into account when dealing with their history. In short, it is the solidarity of the weak in the face of the strong, a solidarity that asserts itself, without even those in question being always aware of it. However, over time they must come to the obvious, edified by their own experience. It is, in fact, not difficult to discern that the Great Powers, whether united or disunited, make, on all occasions, their own policy and if they show some interest in the small countries which are in their path, this is generally to the extent that the voluntary or forced membership of the latter in one or the other of the camps contributes to serving them themselves. The big ones seldom worry about the only real interest of the little ones, which would be to be left in peace, and especially when these big ones are called Nazi Germany and - all things considered - Soviet Russia.

Any formation of thought is considered by Szende as an “Ideology” which exceeds, by interpretation, by conceptual definition, by intellectual converting, and by logical classification, simple human perception. It is the historical role of ideologies to bring individuals or masses, through psychological inducement, to either historical action or to passiveness concerning social order and its conservation or its reform resp. revolution. The main characteristics of ideologies triggering either conservative attitudes and passiveness or reform resp. revolution can be described as “Verhüllung” (disuise) or “Enthüllung” (unveiling). // “It is the essential feature of every revolution and crisis period that the social driving forces, which in less turbulent times are veiled, distorted, whitewashed, impetuously come to the surface from the depths, and are presented to human knowledge in an unadulterated form. Every revolution is the apocalypse of the unconscious, the real agents of events that have not yet been recognized at all or have been recognized in a different way. The potential energies of society - stored up since time immemorial - discharge themselves in grandiose shooting up, creating new things, destroying the old. The rate of the world clock is accelerated. A gigantic film shows the keen eye the biogenetic law of history; every stage of development in human society is shown to us in a flash of lightning.” (Paul Szende)
