The Bridge At Andau is James A. Michener's powerful and poignant account of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, a moment that revealed the true nature of communism to the world. During those fateful weeks, more than 20,000 Hungarian citizens fled across the bridge at Andau, a small and seemingly inconsequential crossing near the Austrian border, in their desperate bid for freedom from Soviet oppression.
Michener, who was present at the bridge, documents the bravery and resilience of the Hungarian people—writers, students, workers, and ordinary citizens—who rose up against the brutal Soviet regime. Through firsthand accounts and vivid storytelling, Michener paints a harrowing picture of the revolution, the devastating consequences of Soviet rule, and the courageous fight for liberty. The bridge at Andau became a symbol of hope, marking the narrow passage from tyranny to freedom.
