Description: An Analysis of Tony Judt's Postwar by Simon Young Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Tony Judt was born in London in 1948, but spent most of his career in America. He studied history at Cambridge and then earned his doctorate in France. His first major writings were about Frances historical left-wing movements, particularly the French Socialist Party. Publisher Description Tony Judt decided to write Postwar in 1989, the year the collapse of the Soviet Union provided European history with a rare example of a clearly-signposted end of an era. Its scarcely surprising, then, that the great virtue of Judts book is the clarity and the breadth of its account of postwar Europe. His book coalesces around one central theme: the idea that the whole of the history of this period can be explained as an unravelling of the consequences of World War II. A bold claim, but Judts exceptional ability to create strong, well-structured, inclusive arguments allows him to pull it off convincingly. Judts work is also a fine example of creative thinking, in that he excels in connecting things together in new and interesting ways. This virtue extends from his unusual ability to combine the best elements of the Anglo-American and the French historiographical traditions – the latter informing his strong interest in the importance of cultural history – to his unwillingness to allow himself to be constrained by historical category and ultimately to his linguistic abilities. Postwar is, above all, a triumph of integration, something that is only made possible by its authors flair for creating strong, persuasive arguments. Author Biography Dr Simon Young holds a PhD in History from Cambridge and now teaches at the University of Florence. His research focuses chiefly on the traditions of English and Irish Popular Literature.
