PREFACE: The Hungarian nation appears before the civilized world in all the halo of its Millennium. It is the object of this work to display as it were in an epitome in characteristic traits and leading features all that Hungary has done in the course of centuries, teeming with storms and troubles; what role it has played among European nations; and with what intellectual and material civilization it is equipped and now enters its second thousand years - in one word its past and its present. The book also gives a picture of the political genius of the nation and how it is expressed in the organization of the state in its constitutional institutions and public life.

A History of Hungary: Millennium in Central Europe provides a comprehensive yet approachable survey of Hungarian history from the prehistoric age to the present day. Politics and culture, economic, social and intellectual developments, and the wider European context are integrated in a single narrative. László Kontler adeptly steers the reader through ancient times, the great migration of peoples, and the creation and troubles of a Christian monarchy that arose in the region wedged between the Baltic and the Balkans, and the Germanic and Russian lands. He then explores factors such as socio-economic backwardness and foreign rule which put Hungary at a disadvantage in coping with the challenges of modernity - a process marked by revolutions, wars of independence, historic compromises and territorial losses. The book includes a detailed discussion of the 'socialist' period, while a brief Epilogue assesses the achievements and the difficulties of the present process of transition to democracy.

Excerpt from The Millennium of Hungary and Its People: Issued Under the Authority of the Royal Hungarian Minister of Commerce, as President of the Millennial National Exhibition Commision Agreeably to this double intention this work does not only appear in the official language of Hungary, namely the Hungarian, nor only in that of the Border countries, the Croatian, but also in German, French, and English. Moreover in order to circulate it as widely as possible, this work will not only appear in a separate edition, but will also form the introduc tory part of the catalogue of the Millennial National Exhibition. His Excellency the royal Hungarian Minister of Commerce, Sir Ernest Daniel, as president of the Millennial Exhibi tion Commission has evinced his high patriotic feelings in promoting the publication of this work. He himself has determined its aims, he has selected eminent Specialists for the treatment of its separate sections; and his noble interest, his unwearied zeal have contributed immeasurably to the fact that those numerous difficulties could be overcome which hindered the accomplishment of this elaborate task.
