Description
Tony Judt's essays offer a unique perspective on history and current events. In this collection, his widow Jennifer Homans has gathered some of his most important and influential pieces from the last fifteen years of his life. The essays cover a range of topics, including Europe as an idea and in reality, Israel and the Holocaust, American hyperpower and global issues, and social inclusion and justice in an age of inequality. Judt's work is marked by a deep compassion for the Israeli dilemma, which drove him to speak out on issues that he saw as crucial. This collection brings together some of Judt's most significant pieces, including one previously unpublished essay, 'What Is to Be Done?', offering readers a chance to engage with his thought-provoking ideas.
