About this book

<b>Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize • <b>Winner of the Council on Foreign Relations Arthur Ross Book Award • <b><b>One of the <i>New York Times</i>’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century</b></b></b><br><br><b>“Impressive . . . Mr. Judt writes with enormous authority.” —The Wall Street Journal<br><br>“Magisterial . . . It is, without a doubt, the most comprehensive, authoritative, and yes, readable postwar history.” <i>—The Boston Globe<br><br></i></b></b>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. <i>Postwar</i> 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, <i>Postwar</i> is a rare joy.
