	Thirteen Days in Autumn
		The Hungarian Revolution of 1956, a national uprising against its Soviet occupiers, was falsely portrayed as an anti-Communist revolution primarily by Western radio stations such as the British Broadcasting Corporation, the Voice of America, and Radio Free Europe.
		This is evidenced by an examination of the roots of the Hungarian uprising, its development within the Hungarian masses and government, and the actions of the mentioned radio stations throughout the crisis.
		At any rate, the Hungarian demands illustrate that the roots of the uprising were more complex than purely political issues, and that the political issues of the revolution sought to maintain a Communist system.

		I saw for myself that the uprising was neither organised nor controlled by fascists or reactionaries, though reactionaries were undeniably trying to gain control of it.
		It, too, can be read in the lines of suffering long-endured on the faces of Hungarian citizens, in the forlorn gaze of the children who press their noses against the windows of Western cars and beg for chocolate, in the tears of men and women who have been promised much and given little.
		It is the long-term tragedy of the absolute failure of the Hungarian Communist Party, after eight years in complete control of their country, to give the people either happiness or security, either freedom from want or freedom from fear.
