Forced to become a professional officer, he participated in all wars and revolutions following World War I. He rose to the position of Commander-in-Chief of Hungary's National Guard during the 1956 Revolution, but immigrated to the United States following the Soviet suppression of his revolutionary government."--Publisher's website.
