Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945

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 intell--ctually ambitious and compelling to read, thrilling in its scope and delightful in its small details, Postwar is a rare joy. von Judt, Tony
