Side Projects

Research/writing for a major book-project about Count Gyula Dessewffy (1909 – 2000), Hungarian land owner, entrepreneur, politician, newspaper publisher / editor-in-chief, and journalist.

The project deals with the life and work of  Gyula Dessewffy, specifically his activities in politics and journalism in favor of a free Hungary after World War II, as well as his influence on the political system of contemporary Hungary.

This Project  will be subject to more comprehensive Research, including investigations in various archives in Hungary, Austria, Germany and the United States, as well as interviews with contemporary witnesses and family members.
