Almost a decade in the making, this much-anticipated grand history of postwar Europe from one of the world's most esteemed historians 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 34 nations and 60 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.
