Judt's brilliant study of Europe after the Second World War is unlikely to be surpassed... Tony Judt has written the standard reference work on European post-war history
Irish Times
A masterly survey of how today's Europe rose from the ashes and exhaustion of 1945
New Statesman, 'Books of the Year'
Most impressive... Postwar, Tony Judt's magnificent history of Europe after The Second World War, covers vast tracts of ground with extraordinary skill, weaving together the stories of West and East in a single, compelling narrative
Evening Standard, 'Books of the Year'
A superb work of synthesis, analysis and reflection
Times Literary Supplement, 'Books of the Year'
With Postwar... Judt moves up into the ranks of the grand simplificateurs. He dares to expound the sum total of Europe since 1945 in a seamless narrative... This is history-writing with a human face, as well as with brainpower... It is most unlikely that Judt's achievement will be superseded soon
Guardian
Masterly and exhilarating... Judt has a fine eye for telling detail... This is a splendid book to which no review can do proper justice
Geoffrey Wheatcroft, Spectator
Truly superb - a magnificent achievement. It is hard to imagine how a better - and more readable - history of the emergence of today's Europe from the ashes of 1945 could ever be written; I can't think of another work on the latter half of the 20th century that comes close to matching it... All in all, a real masterpiece
Ian Kershaw, author of Hitler
