Born in Budapest in the 1920s, Professor Lukacs evaded deportation to the death camps and survived the Siege of Budapest. In 1946, he fled Hungary for the United States.
He is now an historian and author of more than 25 books, including: Blood, Toil, Tears & Sweat: Winston Churchill and the Speech that Saved Civilization (2008), The Siege of Budapest: One Hundred Days in World War II (2006) and June, 1941: Hitler and Stalin (2006).
Lukacs' favourite historical figure is Winston Churchill, whom he considers the greatest statesman of the 20th century and the saviour not only of Great Britain but of Western civilisation.
