Born in 1948, Tony Judt was raised in the East End of London by a mother whose parents had immigrated from Russia and a Belgian father who descended from a line of Lithuanian rabbis. Judt was educated at Emanuel School, before receiving a BA (1969) and PhD (1972) in history from the University of Cambridge.
Like many other Jewish parents living in postwar Europe, his mother and father were secular, but they sent him to Hebrew school and steeped him in the Yiddish culture of his grandparents, which Judt says he still thinks of wistfully. Urged on by his parents, Judt enthusiastically waded into the world of Israeli politics at age 15. He helped promote the migration of British Jews to Israel. In 1966, having won an exhibition to King's College Cambridge, he took a gap year and went to work on kibbutz Machanaim. When Nasser expelled UN troops from Sinai in 1967, and Israel mobilized for war, like many European Jews, he volunteered to replace kibbutz members who had been called up. During and in the aftermath of the Six-Day War, he worked as a driver and translator for the Israel Defense Forces.
But during the aftermath of the war, Judt's belief in the Zionist enterprise began to unravel. "I went with this idealistic fantasy of creating a socialist, communitarian country through work," Judt has said. The problem, he began to believe, was that this view was "remarkably unconscious of the people who had been kicked out of the country and were suffering in refugee camps to make this fantasy possible."
Career: King's College, Cambridge, England, fellow, 1972-78; University of California at Berkeley, assistant professor, 1978-80; St. Anne's College, Oxford University, Oxford, England, fellow, 1980-87; New York University, New York, NY, professor of history, 1987--, director of Remarque Institute, 1995--.
Awards: American Council of Learned Societies, fellow, 1980; British Academy Award for Research, 1984; Nuffield Foundation fellow, 1986; Guggenheim fellow, 1989; Pulitzer Prize in general nonfiction finalist, 2006, for Postwar: A History of Europe since 1945.
Almost 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.

评分□纽约书评笔记 ,刊于东方早报-上海书评 乔纳森 从2010年开始,《纽约书评》每期刊出两三篇托尼•朱特(Tony Judt)的回忆文字,篇幅都不长,谈的多是青少年时代的经历。到4月29日这期,回忆文字暂停了,托尼•朱特的名字却又出现了三次:一是从他刚面世的新书《乡土式微...
评分第1卷第77页,关于全民福利制度的那段堪称神解释。 这段的大意是: 1,穷人从全民福利制度中得到了不少好处; 2,但是中产阶级得到的好处更多,因为之前他们要为医疗、教育和养老服务付钱。现在“他们完全有资格免费或低成本获得这些利益”。 为什么称它是“神解释”? 1,“...
评分- 這一本書, 我看了一個月有多. 從上次出差回來後搞定了 kindle, 上網一按就買了這本書. 雖然買後覺得這種消費太'輕易', 但確實是本好書, 也算沒有買錯吧. 從書的最後看見 print out 版本應該有多點照片, 電子書始終有它不足的地方. - 面對這樣的'巨著', 其實沒甚麼可以評論的...
评分《战后欧洲史》,一部波澜壮阔的欧洲60年变迁史。此前听说这部书,从图书馆找到两卷本,但字很小排得很密,另我这个老花眼者望而却步,直到中信四卷本出版(说实话,装帧很重要,就像人的穿着),买了一套,躺椅上,床头边,断断续续一个多月,仔细阅读了一遍。 我不是历史学家...
