Titled: Emigránsok küldetésben (Emigrants With a Mission) the book was released by the Debrecen Csokonai publisher in time to be introduced at the ninth Anyanyelvi Konferencia (Native Language Conference) at Marosvásárhely, August 10-15, and the Tokaj Írótábor (Writers' Convention) on August 16-18. The documentary history album is a case study of forty years in voluntary mission by the members of an American Hungarian community in New Jersey, referred to as "one of the most significant Hungarian intellectual workshops of the West" by Prof. György Szépe of Pécs University.

Emigré university students of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution which was crushed by the Soviet army, founded the Hungarian Alumni Association - Magyar Öregdiák Szövetség, Bessenyei György Kör - in 1960 at Rutgers University in NJ, USA. The Association maintained a school and on oral history program, and published ten books. Its lecture series - still offering monthly presentations at Rutgers - provided a forum for more than 260 outstanding Hungarian writers, scientists and artists from Hungary, from the other countries of the Carpathian Basin and from many other parts of the world.

Besides detailed historic accounts, the richly illustrated volume contains facsimiles of a large amount of archival documents including correspondence with government and other officials, newspaper articles and recently declassified secret reports of the Hungarian political police revealing how the communist officials attempted to spy on, to impede and to obstruct the Association's activities.
