'Magyar Warriors' (vol. 1)
 
After over 20 years of working on the manuscript, boosting the content to almost double the original size, after several publisher changes and waiting, and more waiting, I am thrilled to learn from the Publisher the book has finally been published! The final page count of vol. 1 increased to over 400. I haven't seen the book myself yet, so I cannot comment on the looks. Will do it as soon as the courtesy copies arrive this week.
I also opened a Facebook page dedicated to the book: https://www.facebook.com/MagyarWarriors
I am looking forward to reading your comments.

I must admit that I know little about Hungarian history. Congratulations on publication after decades of work.




Best,
Ed West

Thank you, Ed! Perhaps it's time to start learning something about the Hungarian military history... :D

You're welcome. I am Polish, first generation. I recall reading a little about the Hungarian military in Skorzeny's book about his service. Is there a good book about the Hungarian Air Force?



Best,
Ed

If you're interested in the whole 100-year span of the Hungarian air force, you may need this large size, high quality printed bilingual book I co-authored:
http://www.amazon.com/Wings-Nation-D...800776&sr=1-16

If you're interested only in the pre-war and WW 2-era , you may want to wait for vol. 2 of 'Magyar Warriors'. ;)
Of course, there are other options, too, like:

Hi, Denes, what is the focus of your book? combat history in WWII? Unit history? or Weapon and uniform?

Practically, everything that is related to the Hungarian armed forces of the Horthy era (1919-1945).
See enclosed the summary and contents of the book.

BHW,
is there any big difference/s (improvment/s, + correction) done between this edition (now in English) and the edition done several years in Czech Republic (title: Madarska Armada, Praha 2007)?

Dénes Bernád 22nd March 2015 11:56
Re: 'Magyar Warriors' (vol. 1)
 
I'd say the difference is not big, it's huge.

Mirek Wawrzynski 22nd March 2015 12:01
Re: 'Magyar Warriors' (vol. 1)
 
Great, but huge is very relevant, + 10 % new, + 65 % new, +120 % a new datas?

Or more a total different book, new quality like: cellar phone v. smartphone?


Even for 10 % is a huge difference, and for 120 % also. And exactly (+/-)?

mw

Dénes Bernád 22nd March 2015 12:03
Re: 'Magyar Warriors' (vol. 1)
 
I cannot precisely say the percentage, but I'd estimate it's more than 60%. The Czech edition was one volume, this series will consist of three.

Mirek Wawrzynski 22nd March 2015 12:34
Re: 'Magyar Warriors' (vol. 1)
 
This is very deep improvments, almost new construction.

Hello Denes,

I am very interested in your future vol. 2 of "Magyar Warriors".
I wonder if you can provide some details about this new book and its publication date.
Does it describe the air operations on a daily basis? I feel it will be very detailed...
Best regards.

Marco

Dénes Bernád 22nd March 2015 15:50
Re: 'Magyar Warriors' (vol. 1)
 
Hello Marco,

Vol. 2 will consist of the following chapters:
CHAPTER 4: THE ROYAL HUNGARIAN AIR FORCE – Development and Operations (1920-1945)
CHAPTER 5: ROYAL HUNGARIAN RIVER FLOTILLA AND SEAGOING SHIPS
CHAPTER 6: OPERATIONAL HISTORY OF THE ROYAL HUNGARIAN ARMY (1938-1945)

The chapter devoted to the air force cannot be a day-by-day account, as that would require an entirely separate book (and a thick one, I may add). Currently the chapter consists of 23,562 words (excluding the detailed photo captions), which means it will be quite a long chapter.

The publication date of vol. 2 is yet unknown, but it won't be very soon, I assume in about a year or so.

Ad. vo.l 2: how many photos, maps?

The link to Amazon states they don't stock this book anymore and don't know when/if it will be stocked.
Any idea where it still can be located?
Cheers

Sorry, but at this time I cannot give you a more precise answer to your question that I've already written (quoted just one row above your post).

Hi Denes,

Thanks for the post I've added this to my Amazon wishlist....I'm always on the lookout for anything in English relating to the RHA in WW2. My grandfather was a captain in the Hussars and we're doing our best to research his history, sadly his records were destroyed in the war and all we have to go on is his old ID cards and some old Hungarian diaries, so maybe this book will help! I'll look forward to picking it up very soon.
