The private life of Endre Bajcsy-Zsilinszky

Was Endre Bajcsy Zsilinszky a murderer? Did he really participate in the murder of a peasant leader? And how did he go through the path that turned a Hungarian racialist into a left-wing politician? The book is not primarily about that. You can read about the politician's everyday life, touching or even shocking details of his private life in this book. A woman also appears on these pages, whom everyone thinks is the wife of the deputy newspaper editor. But she is not. What kind of relationship did Bajcsy-Zsilinszky have with the great politicians of the time? He knew everyone, everyone knew him, yet often fatal antipathy and even hatred developed between them. There is talk of his controversial relationship with Horthy, for whom he fought a duel, leaving a scar on his face for eternity, and of his battles against the Hungarian gentry (of which he was a proud member). At the same time a peasant leader and a city dweller? A newspaper-owning politician and a traitor? The only Hungarian man who welcomed the invading Germans on March 19, 1944? How did he become a conspirator and rebel, and was executed on Christmas Day in the Sopronkőhida prison for this? The book provides exciting answers to these and a hundred other questions.
