What does Hungary’s world-famous Golden Team have to do with the darkest years of the Rákosi regime? Gábor Mező’s latest book not only recalls the legendary footballers’ achievements on the pitch, but also reveals the political games, surveillance, and compromises happening behind the scenes. During the book launch, the author will explore how a national icon team lived – and survived – under a dictatorship, and what sport, success, and freedom meant in that era.
