In 1947 he was Professor of Central European History at Chatham College, University of Pittsburgh, until his retirement in 1977. His main field of research was Central European History and the issues of co-operation between peoples of the Danube region, especially Hungarian-Czechoslovak relations and minority rights.

He wrote books, such as Hungarians in Czechoslovakia 1918-1938 (Magyarok Csehszlovákiában 1918-1938) (1938); The Base-lines of the Hungarian-Slovakian Question (A magyar–szlovák kérdés alapvonalai), study (1939); Beneš (1943); Hungarian-Slovak Compromise (Magyar-szlovák kiegyezés) (1945); The Triumph of Tyranny (1960); The Tragedy of Central Europe (1980); The Hungarians: A Divided Nation (1988); the European Years (Európai évek) (1991), and the New Middle Europe (Az új Közép-Európa) (1998).
