Forget the simple stories you know. The history of Europe since 1945 is a complex tapestry of memory and forgetting, of quiet revolutions and bitter divisions. Tony Judt’s masterpiece, Postwar, cuts through the myths to reveal the continent’s true story. He masterfully chronicles the Cold War, the rise of the welfare state, and the struggles for freedom from East to West. This isn't just history; it is the essential guide to understanding the conflicts and triumphs that define our world now.
