HUNGARY
REVOLUTION!
11/5/56

The magic chemistry of courage, anger and desperation that makes men wager their lives for an ideal fired Hungary into revolution last week. Unarmed, unorganized, unaided from outside, the Hungarian people overthrew a government. They took on the Soviet army. They suffered by the thousands and died by the hundreds. The strength of their passion was enough to give pause to the rulers of great Russia itself. On the sixth day, Premier Imre Nagy announced that the Soviet Union had agreed to withdraw its troops and pledged that his government would embrace "the new democratic forms of self-government."
