Description: The Bridge at Andau is James A. Michener at his most gripping. His classic nonfiction account of a doomed uprising is as searing and unforgettable as any of his bestselling novels. For five brief glorious days in the autumn of 1956, the Hungarian revolution gave its people a glimpse at a different kind of future until at four o clock in the morning on a Sunday in November the citizens of Budapest awoke to the shattering sound of Russian tanks ravaging their streets. The revolution was over. But freedom beckoned in the form of a small footbridge at Andau on the Austrian border. By an accident of history it became for a few harrowing weeks one of the most important crossings in the world as the soul of a nation fled across its unsteady planks. Praise for The Bridge at Andau Precise vivid immeasurably stirring. The Atlantic Monthly Dramatic chilling enraging. San Francisco Chronicle Superb. Kirkus Reviews Highly recommended reading.
