Title: It's textbook at the ANU for a reason
Product review: This is an amazing text not only for its breadth and compressive assessment of European History over 60 years but for its clarity. It is a textbook at the Australian National University and many others; it should be a mandated text for all in the 21st century as we look back to the 20th century for to reason why we find ourselves where we are.As Judt said just before his death "Anyone who tells you the past is better is an idiot - means he only knows of the past. Anyone who tells you the present is better, is not only an idiot, he knows nothing at all, which is even worse."
