Exactly. The imperial troops had to siege the city as rebels seized control (their military commander was Joseph Bem - or Uncle Bem as we call him - who was quite good at his job). Windisch-Grätz could have been caught with his pants down and beaten.

Not really.
It's not easy to judge the case of Görgey. Both public opinion and historical view changed a lot with the winds throughout the past 170 years. Recently - for example - quite a few works were published which takes his side with suspiciously great enthusiasm and are sold as official view of authoritative scientists who gives us the true gold standard in the question (even in historical journals not just by the press and media in general). I wonder when the mantra will change again.
So I'm struggling with my source material, that's the reason I not yet finished his story.

Many. He even have his own, published during the internment of Klagenfurt: Mein Leben und Wirken in Ungarn in den Jahren 1848 und 1849. Was published in English as well, I post that too.

I don't think so. But literary works was written, dramas, novels and such, so might one could be implemented I guess.
