Postwar

Born in 1948, Tony Judt was raised in the East End of London by a mother whose parents had immigrated from Russia and a Belgian father who descended from a line of Lithuanian rabbis. Judt was educated at Emanuel School, before receiving a BA (1969) and PhD (1972) in history from the University of Cambridge.Like many other Jewish parents living in postwar Europe, his mother and father were secular, but they sent him to Hebrew school and steeped him in the Yiddish culture of his grandparents, which Judt says he still thinks of wistfully. Urged on by his parents, Judt enthusiastically waded into the world of Israeli politics at age 15. He helped promote the migration of British Jews to Israel. In 1966, having won an exhibition to King's College Cambridge, he took a gap year and went to work on kibbutz Machanaim. When Nasser expelled UN troops from Sinai in 1967, and Israel mobilized for war, like many European Jews, he volunteered to replace kibbutz members who had been called up. During and in the aftermath of the Six-Day War, he worked as a driver and translator for the Israel Defense Forces.But during the aftermath of the war, Judt's belief in the Zionist enterprise began to unravel. "I went with this idealistic fantasy of creating a socialist, communitarian country through work," Judt has said. The problem, he began to believe, was that this view was "remarkably unconscious of the people who had been kicked out of the country and were suffering in refugee camps to make this fantasy possible."Career: King's College, Cambridge, England, fellow, 1972-78; University of California at Berkeley, assistant professor, 1978-80; St. Anne's College, Oxford University, Oxford, England, fellow, 1980-87; New York University, New York, NY, professor of history, 1987--, director of Remarque Institute, 1995--.Awards: American Council of Learned Societies, fellow, 1980; British Academy Award for Research, 1984; Nuffield Foundation fellow, 1986; Guggenheim fellow, 1989; Pulitzer Prize in general nonfiction finalist, 2006, for 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 intellectually ambitious and compelling to read, thrilling in its scope and delightful in its small details, Postwar is a rare joy.

读后感

1968：历史上也有过其他的革命年份，比如1848年的革命，那才欧洲意义上的独特归属。但1968年的革命之所以如此特殊就在于它超越了欧洲的局限。专栏作家马克•科兰斯基在《1968：撞击世界的年代》一书提到这个特殊的年份时说：“1968年是那么独特，它在人类历史上绝无仅有，并...

在过去的五百年里，欧洲一直深深推动和影响着世界其余部分的历史进程，以至于在很长一段时间里，了解在欧洲发生了什么事，即便对中国人来说也近乎一种义务，否则就不免被视为对世界潮流一无所知。这种状况在1945年后受到了冲击，经历两次世界大战的欧洲元气大伤，在新的全球格...

满详尽, 讨论了大多数类似作品不怎么提的小国(如比利时意大利匈牙利之类). 作者是英国人, 所以对英国有empathy且全书有从英国看欧洲的视角. 又是Cam历史系毕业的, 所以对大陆仍然是传统处理, 重法国轻德国
