The Hungarian Agricultural Miracle: Sovietization and Americanization in a Communist Country - Harvard Cold War Studies Book | Historical Analysis of Communist Agriculture | Perfect for Cold War Scholars & History Enthusiasts

This book examines Soviet agriculture in post-1945 Hungary. It demonstrates how the agrarian lobby, a development following the 1956 revolution, led to contact with the West which allowed for the creation of an effective agricultural system. The author argues that this ‘Hungarian agricultural miracle,’ a hybrid of American technology and Soviet structures, was fundamental to the success of Hungarian collectivization.
