Postwar

The definitive history of Europe's rebirth. From the ruins of war to the rise of the European Union, Postwar tells the sweeping story of Europe's transformation in the 20th century. Historian Tony Judt draws on a lifetime of scholarship to chart how nations reckoned with totalitarianism, and forged a new vision of democracy and cooperation. Combining intellectual depth with narrative power, Judt's masterpiece offers profound lessons about memory, identity and resilience. Postwar is not only an essential work of history - it's a guide to understanding the political and cultural foundations of modern Europe.
