| Introduction | In a book that collects calumnies against Kossuth and attempts to discredit him in the eyes of his American admirers, Bartholomew Szemere, president of the Hungarian Cabinet formed in 1849 writes: "Kossuth loved his life better than he did his country. . . .Is not that man like Don Quixote? It seemed, his luck and reason left him at the same time, but despite all, I never expected him to be as stupid, as that." |
