Named one of the Ten Best Books of the Year by the New York Times Book Review
Almost a decade in the making , this much-anticipated grand history of postwar Europe from one of the world’s most esteemed historians and intellectuals is a singular achievement. Postwar is the first modern history that covers all of Europe, both east and west, drawing on research in six languages to sweep readers through thirty-four nations and sixty years of political and cultural change—all in one integrated, enthralling narrative. Both intellectually ambitious and compelling to read, thrilling in its scope and delightful in its small details, Postwar is a rare joy.
* A Time and San Francisco Chronicle Best Book of the Year
* Maps, photos, and cartoons throughout
Bill's Review
| Customer Rating: | | I lived through through the Postwar Years but never understood what was happening to the extent this book shows. It's a huge book (830 pages) but reads like a novel. I'll keep it forever as a reference, and loan it out whenever possible. It's a great value. |
One of the best books I ever read
| Customer Rating: | This is a marvellous book, so nice and easy to read. The author's account of the end of the Soviet Era in the East Countries is very, very interesting. Also excellent are the insights of the events of the 50' and 60', of which I do not remember, since I was a kid.
This is a book that teaches you for live, and makes you think and reflect so much aboout the present.
It is a "must read" for all interested in Europe and the evolution of the Western World. |
A masterpeace on European history
| Customer Rating: | | Having grown behind the Iron Curtain, I lack a lot of knowledge about European history - not knowledge of the facts, which can be found in every history textbook, but knowledge of bigger picture, of the reasons of some events and of the feelings some events created. This book helped me a lot to overcome this want and I would advise it to anyone who wishes to improve one's knowledge of European history. |
Anti-Jewish Author beware Christians and Jews!
| Customer Rating: | Like another reviewer has mentioned this man, professor at the university of New York is an outspoken denier of the right of Israel to exist as a nation.
Read Caroline Glick's latest book for more info.
Christians, Jews, don't buy into this man's propaganda. |
Nothing short of brilliant
| Customer Rating: | | In this long and detailed resection of Europe post World War II, Judt has finally put all the little pieces that led to "modern Europe" into place and, more importantly, into perspective. Not since Barbara Tuchman carefully negotiated events has anyone made such a profound effort to help us understand where we are now by retracing the path to the present. |
