Without knowing much about it’s comprehensiveness or style I had added “Post War” to my book wish list quite a while ago. Your description of it is encouraging in that it sounds like it’s accessible for those of us who are not scholars and are more casually interested in learning modern European history.
I got the ebook, and will start it this week, thanks for the review John. Judt wrote 12 books, he was two years younger than me, sad that he died young. His career spanned Cambridge, Oxford and a US university.
I can send you my Venmo and PayPal links. It's almost Christmas if you're in the giving spirit. Can't promise it'll actually go to a mic, but no harm in taking a chance, right?
Not much on Lithuania, but what is there is properly written. So definitely an overview, but I don't know how much post-war Lithuanian history a person can take anyway.
That’s one more book to add to my list! Thanks for the great review, John.

This is a masterpiece. The man was a true scholar.
Part 1 is probably where my interest most lies, but the whole piece sounds good, I’ll keep alert for it. Thanks for the review.
I was excited to see this video pop up. Postwar is one I really want to get to.
It's an undertaking (obviously), but also an entire education unto itself. You're going to love it.
Sounds pretty good John, glad to see the include eastern Europe and other regions of Europe besides the obvious ones

Let me know what you think when you get around to it, Clare.
@NicholasOfAutrecourt ok will do.
You sold me , just ordered it
Mark it on the calendar! Officially an influencer! Come back and let me know what you thought of it.
Is there anyway you can crowdfund a separate mic? The sound is rough, my friend, otherwise I enjoy your videos
