Cold War tensions, anxieties over the concurrent Suez crisis, and ignorance and indifference about Hungary influenced how UN member states responded to this \"internal affair\" and its potentially dangerous effects on international relations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDiplomacy and Disregard \u003c\/i\u003edraws upon previously inaccessible documents, including UN archival materials, Hungarian government and secret service papers, and personal collections held by UN officials across the globe, to reveal the UN's contradictory rhetorical and practical responses to the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, with larger lessons about the limits on the UN's power to address global conflicts. From insightful overviews to detailed case studies of individual diplomats and specific controversies, author András Nagy traces the UN's reactions to Hungarian and Soviet authorities' blocking of resolutions and denunciation of the UN as an enemy power, its need to use the International Committee of the Red Cross as a channel for its humanitarian aid, and its inability to legitimize revolutionary leaders and protect them from purges and retribution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProviding an unprecedented look at the global reach and consequences of the Hungary's 1956 Revolution, \u003ci\u003eDiplomacy and Disregard\u003c\/i\u003e unpacks how the UN's action and inaction during this political crisis demonstrated the limits on its ability to maneuver the Cold War's fraught political landscape and live up to the ideals of its charter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrás Nagy is Associate Professor in the Department of Theater Studies and the Department of Modern Philology and Social Sciences at the University of Pannonia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 380\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.85 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 06, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978233839917,"sku":"9780253070289","price":74.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/8eh4QYL7G9780253070289.webp?v=1775801173","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/diplomacy-and-disregard-the-hungarian-revolution-and-the-united-nations-1956-1963-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
