Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945
by Tony Judt
Description
Spanning Europe from the aftermath of World War II to the dawn of the twenty-first century, this sweeping history traces the continent’s reconstruction, division, transformation, and uncertain unity. It brings together geopolitics, domestic politics, economic change, social movements, intellectual life, and popular culture to show how the Cold War, American influence, European integration, and the collapse of communism reshaped lives across dozens of countries. With exceptional breadth and a richly connected narrative, the book balances Europe’s defining historical forces with the distinct experiences of its nations and peoples. The result is a nuanced portrait of a continent emerging from catastrophe while continuing to wrestle with memory, identity, ideology, and the promises of modernity.
