Product Description
John Gray, Guardian
`In Reappraisals the British-born historian, now a university professor in New York, collects 23 essays, written between 1994 and 2006, in which he undertakes a ruthless dissection of the ruling illusions of the post-cold war years ... There are illuminating assessments of Primo Levi and Hannah Arendt, a superb deconstruction of the fall of France in 1940, explorations of Belgium's fractured statehood and the ambiguous position of Romania in Europe, analyses of the Cuba crisis and Kissinger's diplomacy, and much else besides ... Judt is a liberal thinker dedicated to demystifying liberal illusions. Reappraisals is an indispensable tract for the times by one of the great political writers of the age.'
Niall Ferguson, Financial Times
`[Judt] is a highly readable authority ... He delivers the intellectual's equivalent of a left hook ... the uppercut soon follows ... and finally, a knockout punch ... The intellectual's intellectual.'
