The Road to the Hungarian-American Claims Settlement

The topic of this book is the Hungarian-American
Claims Settlement of 1973 and the negotiations that
led to its conclusion. It starts out with a survey
of the main phases of Hungarian foreign policy in
the twentieth century and the five most important
problems in Hungarian-American relations after the
Revolution of 1956. Among these were several
unsettled financial claims, some of them dating back
to the interwar period. The road to settling these
claims proved to be longer than first thought. In
this book the process of the improvement of the
relations of the two countries is examined focusing
mainly on primary sources.
