Eagles Looking East and West: Dynasty, Ritual and Representation in Habsburg Hungary and Spain [Águilas mirando al este y al oeste] (Turnhout: Brepols Publishers, 2021) es un volumen que reúne a quince autores de España, Hungría, República Checa y otras partes, sobre el tema de la relación política especial entre las dos ramas de las monarquías católicas de los Habsburgo en la Europa moderna temprana. Separadas por la distancia pero unidas por la oposición al avance del Imperio otomano, estas dos casas lideraron cruzadas hasta el siglo XVIII. Además, la conexión con la casa española de Habsburgo -a través de muchas muestras y ceremonias de alianza, por ejemplo, de la orden de caballería del Toisón de Oro- permitió a los aristócratas de Hungría avanzar en sus propias carreras. Estos ensayos exploran las diversas formas en que se representó y promovió esta alianza. Tibor Martí es un historiador de España y Hungría e investigador del Departamento de Historia de la Temprana Edad Moderna del Instituto de Historia del Centro de Investigación en Humanidades de la Academia de Ciencias de Hungría en Budapest y anteriormente profesor de la Universidad Católica Pázmány Péter en las Facultades de Filosofía y  Humanidades. El profesor Martí ha escrito docenas de artículos y ponencias –en español, inglés y húngaro– sobre los temas de la diplomacia entre España, Hungría y Austria, los conflictos fronterizos y la lucha en las fronteras y los territorios vecinos disputados entre los europeos católicos y el Imperio otomano. Entrevista realizada por Krzysztof Odyniec, un historiador de España y el Imperio español en el siglo XVI especializado en la diplomacia y el viaje.

In his biography of Jozef Tiso, Catholic priest and president of independent Slovakia (1939-1944), James Ward provides a deeper understanding of a man who has been both honored and vilified since his execution as a Nazi collaborator in 1947. Priest, Politician, Collaborator: Jozef Tiso and the Making of Fascist Slovakia (Cornell University Press, 2013) is also a fascinating look at Catholicism, nationalism and human rights as moral standards in 20th century East Central Europe. The book explores both the political and social contexts that shaped Tiso and the choices he made in attempts to shape the country in which he lived – whether Habsburg Hungary, interwar Czechoslovakia or a Slovak republic.  Ward reveals, as well, how the fight over Tiso’s legacy in post-communist Slovakia mirrored the polarization of Slovak politics at the end of the 20th century. Priest, Politician, Collaborator was the 2014 Honorable Mention for the Reginald Zelnik Book Prize in History from the Association for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies.
