The obvious recommendation will be Aptheker's book which i think is pretty heavily biased and distorts the facts to make the USSR look good, there is Hungary 1956 by Bill Lomax which is closer to the truth imo but skews towards idealizing the revolt, the problem is that even in Hungary there's a constant culture war about what really happened in 1956 so even hungarian historiography is divided on it, if you can manage to find László Eörsi's books (these are mostly in hungarian, but The Hungarian revolution of 1956 (Myths and Realities) is translated into english), probably the best ones out there (though there are things i could argue with him about) and there's a recent book that came out that explicitly looked at how workers saw the events of whose name evades me but it might get an english translation (or so ive heard).
