THINKING THE TWENTIETH CENTURY is the final book of unparalleled historian and indomitable public critic Tony Judt. Where Judt's masterpiece Postwar redefined the history of modern Europe by uniting the stories of its eastern and western halves, it unites the century's conflicted intellectual history into a single soaring narrative. the entire era and all currents of thought in a manner never previously attempted, this book is a triumphant tour de force that restores clarity to the classics of modern thought with the assurance and grace of a master craftsman.
