Ferenc Nagy (1903-1979) was a Hungarian politician of the Smallholders Party, who served as Prime Minister of Hungary from 1946 to 1947. He was elected in 1946, in Hungary's first democratic election. As prime minister, he resisted attempts by the Hungarian Communist Party to gain complete control of the government. He refused attempts by the Communists to become a puppet of a Soviet backed police state, but resigned under duress (they had kidnapped his son). He gave up the premiership in return for his son and 300,000 Swiss francs. Subsequently he was granted asylum in the USA.
He documented his life and political career in The Struggle behind the Iron Curtain, published by MacMillan in 1948.
Royalties from his memoirs helped him buy a house with a substantial garden plot in Herndon, Virginia (then an exurb of Washington, D.C., there to live out his days.
