Hungarians in Peacekeeping

In the first part of the book, the author gives an overview of the history of peacekeeping activity dating back to the 19th century, which has undergone great changes and made huge progress until today. The participation of the Hungarian Defence Forces in these tasks and missions gained recognition not only for the military organisations, but also for the Republic of Hungary. Our soldiers serve the peace and security of the world, help the needy and suffering people, and thereby strive to make the world a better place. They perform their voluntarily undertaken service bravely and selflessly, ready to sacrifice the most precious, their own life, if required. A significant part of the Hungarian Defence Forces is currently performing duties in different crisis response operations of the UN, the OSCE, NATO, and the EU in the Balkans, in Afghanistan and in Iraq. In this book, the author publishes the results of a military sociological survey conducted in the recent past with varied research-methodological techniques.
