Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945

Tony Judt

Recommended by 2 people on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 7d is days, 4yr is years.

Cosma Rohilla Shalizi liked it affiliate
A massive, but utterly satisfying, total history of the European subcontinent since the close of the Second World War — which, of necessity, involves going back before the war for many things. Judt makes no secret of the fact that his sympathies lie with anti-Communist liberal social democracy.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
