Finalist for the Pulitzer PrizeWinner of the Council on Foreign Relations Arthur Ross Book AwardOne of the New York Times' Ten Best Books of the YearAlmost a decade in the making; this much-anticipated grand history of postwar Europe from one of the world's most esteemed historians and intellectuals is a singular achievement. Postwar is the first modern history that covers all of Europe; both east and west; drawing on research in six languages to sweep readers through thirty-four nations and sixty years of political and cultural change-all in one integrated; enthralling narrative. Both intellectually ambitious and compelling to read; thrilling in its scope and delightful in its small details; Postwar is a rare joy.

The writing is phenomenal and amazing. Mary Karr is an artist with language; descriptions and the ability to portray and reflect the mind and spirit of a child.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Pure poetryBy Jane PollakAlthough I'd read this years ago; I've come at it with new eyes this time around. Karr's literary non-fiction brings the reader viscerally into every scene. I'm happy to be out of Texas; but grateful for the tangible visit via Karr's amazing story.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
