The national army

The history of the Hungarians has on many occasions marched glorious leaders and glorious armies inseparably belonging to the leaders; it is enough to think only of King Matthias and the Black Army, or to recall his regiment in connection with Lajos Kossuth, but we cannot fail to praise the brave red-squirrels when pronouncing the name of György Klapka. So, when we take the name of Chief Miklós Horthy on our lips, we cannot forget the National Army either! The National Army, which was established in the city of Szeged in June 1919, to travel from there to Transdanubia and then to the capital, in order to overcome the red terror, restore law and order and public safety. This volume, with its abundant pictorial material, seeks to give an account of this period, trusting that, while maintaining its objectivity throughout, it can bring closer to its reader the age in which our predecessors had been a part.
