The first truly European history of contemporary Europe, from Lisbon to Leningrad, based on research in six languages, covering 34 countries across 60 years, using a great deal of material from newly available sources. The book integrates international relations, domestic politics, ideas, social change, economic development, and culture--high and low--into a single grand narrative. Every country has its chance to play the lead, and although the big themes are handled--including the cold war, the love/hate relationship with America, cultural and economic malaise and rebirth, and the myth and reality of unification--none of them is allowed to overshadow the rich pageant that is the whole.--From publisher description.… (mais)
One of the best history books I've every had the pleasure to read (listen to), and I've read (mostly) over 110 of them.
The writing is beautiful, better than some of the crappy novels I was reading at the same time. The descriptions are detailed, fundamental and revealing.
Tony Judt, Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945 (2005). Judt’s epic history of postwar Europe reviews the political, social, and economic forces that shaped the continent’s evolution in the aftermath of World War II. The distinctive feature of Postwar is that it tells the story on both sides of the Iron Curtain, highlighting how Europe was caught between two superpowers. Postwar was a Pulitzer Prize finalist and received CFR’s Arthur Ross Book Award in 2006.

Introduction
« L’histoire universelle n’est pas le lieu de la félicité.
Les périodes de bonheur y sont ses pages blanches. »
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
I L’Héritage de la guerre
« Ce n’est pas une lente décadence que le monde européanisé a connue ; d’autres civilisations ont chancelé et se sont effondrées ; la civilisation européenne a été, pour ainsi dire, soufflée. »
« Personne n’a encore imaginé, encore moins regardé en face le problème humain que laissera la guerre derrière elle. Il n’y a jamais eu de telle destruction, de telle désintégration de la structure de la vie. »
Anne O’Hare McCormick
I L’Héritage de la guerre
« Partout règne un désir ardent de miracles et de guérisons. La guerre a ramené les Napolitains au Moyen Âge. »

Préface et remerciements
L’Europe est le plus petit des continents. En vérité, elle n’est pas même un continent : un simple appendice sous-continental de l’Asie. L’Europe entière, à l’exclusion de la Russie et de la Turquie, comprend juste 5,5 millions de km2 : moins des deux tiers de la superficie du Brésil, à peine plus que la moitié de la Chine ou des États-Unis.

Introduction
J’ai pris la décision d’écrire ce livre en changeant de train à la Westbahnhof, le principal terminus ferroviaire de Vienne. C’était en décembre 1989, un moment propice. Je rentrais de Prague, où les dramaturges et historiens du Forum civique de Václav Havel délogeaient un État policier communiste et jetaient dans les poubelles de l’histoire quarante années de « socialisme réellement existant ». [...]
PREMIÈRE PARTIE
Après-guerre : 1945-1953
L’Europe, au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, offrait un tableau de misère et de désolation absolues. Les photographies et les documentaires de l’époque montrent de pitoyables flots de civils démunis se traînant à travers un paysage dévasté de villes éventrées et de champs stériles. [...]
