About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Postwar by Tony Judt, read by Ralph Cosham.

Tracing the story of postwar Europe and its changing role in the world, Judt's magnificent history of the continent of our times investigates the political, social and cultural history of Europe from the wreckage of postwar Europe to the expansion of the EU into the former Soviet empire. Judt's stress is on the continent as a whole, from Greece to Norway, from Portugal to Russia.

This, uniquely, is a history that pays due attention to both Western and Eastern Europe, to cultural and social developments as to political and diplomatic events. Throughout Judt shows how politics, society, culture and popular culture influenced each other. A masterly and definitive history of our continent in a crucial period of its history, Europe in our time.

Breathtaking account of Europe’s postwar history. Still rings true almost 20 years after publication. Judt is an excellent story-teller with perfect set of facts for each argument. Genius work.

I was not very knowledgable in post war European history and this book was a great source of information. I read it from cover to cover and even bought a paper version of it.

I was surprised that the author is not biased at all. It is an intense reading full of facts and names. It helped me to understand where many contemporary problems started as well as connect many dots in history of my country (Czechia).

This book is essential reading for all those who want to have an understanding of how Europe became to be what it is and what it didn't become. We can't hide from our past and mistakes, but the last decades we are certainly trying to ignore them, a trent the author did foresee. The narration was engaged and very suitable for this kind of complex work.

important, monumental!

A lot happened after world war 2 and until about 2007 and this book endeavors to give you an overview of it all. This is essential reading for this period and something that I even find myself coming back to when I need context for another title.

Great listen, even though it does hold plenty of facts that are hard to remember without actually reading. nevertheless it was incredibly interesting and fulfilling to understand Europe.

A great synthesis of recent European history.

Don’t make a drinking game out of how many times the narrator says “hitherto”. You’ll be drunk in 30 minutes.

Good book, the separations of chapters not so good, but overall good.

Good, but
