HTML:<p><i>The Bridge at Andau</i> is James A. Michener at his most gripping. His classic nonfiction account of a doomed uprising is as searing and unforgettable as any of his bestselling novels. For five brief, glorious days in the autumn of 1956, the Hungarian revolution gave its people a glimpse at a different kind of future—until, at four o’clock in the morning on a Sunday in November, the citizens of Budapest awoke to the shattering sound of Russian tanks ravaging their streets. The revolution was over. But freedom beckoned in the form of a small footbridge at Andau, on the Austrian border. By an accident of history it became, for a few harrowing weeks, one of the most important crossings in the world, as the soul of a nation fled across its unsteady planks.</p> <p><br /> BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from James A. Michener's <i>Hawaii.</i><br />  <br /> <b>Praise for <i>The Bridge at Andau</i></b><br /> <b><i> </i></b><br /> “Precise, vivid . . . immeasurably stirring.”<b>—<i>The Atlantic Monthly</i></b><br /> <b><i> </i></b><br /> “Dramatic, chilling, enraging.”<b>—<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i></b><br /> <b><i> </i></b><br /> “Superb.”<b>—<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b><br /> <b><i> </i></b><br /> “Highly recommended reading.”<b>—<i>Library Journal</i></b></p>.
