General

Document. The review is entitled "Students, Instructors, and Witnesses." Relying on highlights of the book, the author presents ALG's book as an important contribution to the general cultural history of Hungary proving that Hungary has always belonged to the Christian West, even half a millenium ago. The destruction coming from the East, like the Ottoman invasion of the Turks in 1526 and of the Soviet forces in 1956 just to name a few, could not and did not pull Hungary out of the recovery of its lost influence of Western civilization, claims Sárkány György. ALG's book testifies to this very trend drawing on many examples of young Hungarians studying and acting as deputies in Paris. Hungarian
