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.

歐洲:之所以把這個詞匯作為第一個關鍵詞,很顯然是因為歐洲本身復雜難描的地理、政治、宗教和文化等因素使然。正如托尼•硃特所言,“戰後歐洲史是一個籠罩在沉默裏和不在場的故事”,這個曾經在語言、宗教信仰、共同社會和民族都相互重疊的歐洲從1914年到1945年間差點被摧...
評分作者被稱為世界50大思想傢之一,但是本書讀完後的感覺與閱讀完一遍高中曆史教科書一樣,在內容與思想上沒有任何突破和獨特的觀點,隻是單純用史實和數據堆積成的垃圾書,沒有一點思想和文學價值。單純的對高中曆史知識的重復,不值得閱讀和購買。
評分《戰後歐洲史》,一部波瀾壯闊的歐洲60年變遷史。此前聽說這部書,從圖書館找到兩捲本,但字很小排得很密,另我這個老花眼者望而卻步,直到中信四捲本齣版(說實話,裝幀很重要,就像人的穿著),買瞭一套,躺椅上,床頭邊,斷斷續續一個多月,仔細閱讀瞭一遍。 我不是曆史學傢...

滿詳盡, 討論瞭大多數類似作品不怎麼提的小國(如比利時意大利匈牙利之類). 作者是英國人, 所以對英國有empathy且全書有從英國看歐洲的視角. 又是Cam曆史係畢業的, 所以對大陸仍然是傳統處理, 重法國輕德國
評分歐洲史..我拿你怎麼辦..
評分perfect
評分史料的運用、敘述節奏的把握實在是揮灑自如。但說到底是Eurocentric的史觀,對共産主義陣營的敘述多從其對西歐社會影響著眼,暑假時要對讀霍布斯鮑姆的Age of Extreme。
評分非常好看的歐洲史,準備讀完他所有作品。
