About This Novel
"Postwar European History" is the most important representative work of Tony Judt, the most respected historian and thinker in the world today. It took 20 years to conceive and 10 years to write. It extensively uses documents in 6 languages, covers 34 countries, and takes into account Western and Eastern Europe. Covering the whole of Europe, it is the first master-level historical masterpiece that comprehensively displays the political, economic and cultural changes in modern Europe over the past 60 years. It is highly recommended by European and American political leaders such as President Barroso of the European Commission, President Schulz of the European Parliament, and the visiting Uzbekistan. From brutal genocide to the advocacy of human rights values, from fascism sweeping the world to the disintegration of the Soviet Eastern European socialist bloc, from free capital markets to big-government welfare states, from arms races to the establishment of the European Union for mutual assistance and cooperation, from tariff barriers to the unified currency Euro... Europe is a laboratory of human activities. It has experienced the baptism and experimentation of various political systems, ideologies, social systems, economic orders, and cultural trends of thought. No wonder, Tony Judt said: "Like a fox, Europe knows a lot." For the modern public, "it is impossible to understand the world without understanding Europe." "Postwar European History" is a masterpiece that Tony Judt, the top contemporary historian, has worked on for more than ten years.
