In 1956, at the time of the Hungarian Revolution, Kopacsi was police chief in Budapest. He had fought in the anti-Nazi Resistance and welcomed the Soviet Army. Purges in the police forces during the early 1950s eventually led him to question Soviet motives. Reforms in the USSR after 1953 gave hope of change in Hungary as well. He supported the 1956 uprising in an effort to reform the Communist system from within. Following its collapse, he and seven other leaders were tried and sentenced to long prison terms. Amnestied in 1963, Kopacsi emigrated to Canada in 1975. This fascinating insider's account adds a new dimension to Hungary's history. Marcia L. Sprules, Univ. of South Dakota Lib., Vermillion
