Ian Shaw, Past President of the Ottawa Independent Writers, and author.

“Canadian author Frank Hegyi’s account of his personal participation in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 provides the reader with a front row view to one of the most important events in contemporary European history. It reminds us of how easy it is to stand for what one believes, only to be forced into exile and face the daunting task of building an entirely new life in a foreign land. Hegyi’s personal story exemplifies human resilience.”

Seymour Hamilton, Ottawa Independent Writers, and author.

In 1956, at the age of eighteen, Frank Hegyi crawled through a minefield across the border between his native Hungary and Austria, fleeing a Communist firing squad.  At 23 he graduated on scholarship at Edinburgh University in forestry.  After three years in British Guiana, he immigrated to Canada.  By 1980, he was a Director in the British Columbia forestry service, where he had extended the science and practice of forest inventory.  Then he went into business for himself. Travelling the world as a consultant, he introduced computerized wireless communication in forest mapping and inventory.  Paralyzed by a stroke at 66, he fought back to health and a further career as a writer, which he continues today.  The Three Revolutionaries is Frank Hegyi’s autobiography.  It is also the story of his Hungarian ancestors who championed their country’s freedom over three generations. Illustrated with archival photography, The Three Revolutionaries is a personal window into Hungarian history, through which we see the unyielding spirit of Hegyi’s country, family and his truly impressive lifetime

Ian Prattis, Ottawa Independent Writers, and author.

Frank Hegyi’s “The Three Revolutionaries” presents a family saga in Hungary, reaching back to his great – great grandfather. The fervour of revolution was strongly manifest in each generation, including Frank. He joined the 1956 revolution against Soviet occupation. He was captured along with other youth leaders but managed to escape through a minefield before the youth leaders were executed. He describes each dramatic generation and the series of revolutions they fought and died in. For himself, the escape to the west enabled a new life as a scientist, entrepreneur and government director in Canada. He writers that he was “the lucky one.” The archival photography punctuates the saga of Frank Hegyi’s remarkable life and ancestry.
