From: London Socialist Historians Group
1956 was the year of Khruschev's secret speech, the year of the Russian invasion of Hungary and the Anglo-French invasion of Suez.
Fifty years on, the London Socialist Historians Group is organising a one day event to assess the historical significance of the events of 1956, particularly in terms of its impact on the left.
We intend to have panels on 1956 in the Middle East and in Hungary to start and finish the conference.
