THE DEFINITIVE HISTORY OF POSTWAR EUROPE FOR OUR TIME
Tony Judt's Postwar is cause for celebration. The product of a decade's labor,
it is sweeping narrative history in the grand tradition, a deeply learned and
absorbing chronicle of Europe since the fall of Berlin, leaving East and West,
North and South, into a majestic sixty-year tapestry studded with brilliant
new insight.

Tony Judt has drawn on forty years of reading and writing about modern Europe
to craft this account of the continent's remarkable journey.tumultuous and
uneven.out of the devastation of history's most savage war. While his range
is vast, and seemingly no country, no vital theme, no crucial individual,
no watershed event fails to get its moment in the narrative sun, Postwar is
the very opposite of the dutiful plod. Animated and propelled by the celebrated
force of its author's point of view, it is never less than brilliant. Witty,
opinionated and full of fresh and surprising stories and asides, visually rich
and rewarding, with useful and provocative maps, photos and cartoons, Postwar
is a rare joy for lovers of history and lovers of Europe alike, a show from
which one exits, dazzled, into the present moment, with much mental furniture
rearranged, if not smashed into kindling, and all of Europe indelibly in mind.
