Tibor Gerencsér, Marcin Grad, Miklos Mitrovits, Flaga węgierska nad Wisłą. Z dziejów placówki dyplomatycznej Węgier nad Wisłą [The Hungarian Flag on the Vistula
From the History of the Hungarian Diplomatic Mission in Poland] (Warsaw: Wydawnictwo MOST, 2017), 223 pp.
Abstract
The book under review, although published several years ago, has attracted little attention in Polish historiography. This is somewhat surprising, given the scarcity of publications on the history of Hungary available in Polish, and the even smaller number written from a distinctly Hungarian perspective. It is precisely in this light that Węgierska flaga nad Wisłą [The Hungarian Flag on the Vistula River] should be approached. A further contribution of the volume lies in the perspective adopted by its authors: they examine Polish–Hungarian relations through the activities of Hungary’s official diplomatic representation in Poland. While such relations cannot, of course, be analysed without reference to the broader historical context of Polish–Hungarian relations, this is not the authors’ point of departure. Instead, they focus primarily on the work and initiatives of Hungarian envoys and ambassadors to Poland between 1919–2017.
