"Thinking the Twentieth Century maps the issues and concerns of a turbulent age onto a life of intellectual conflict and engagement. The twentieth century comes to life as the age of ideas--a time when, for good or for ill, the thoughts of the few reigned over the lives of many. Judt presents the triumphs and the failures of prominent intellectuals, adeptly extracting the essence of their ideas. Spanning an entire era with unprecedented clarity, this is a tour de force, a classic engagement of modern thought by one of the century's most incisive thinkers."
"Traversing the century's complexities with ease, Tony Judt and Timothy Snyder revive both thoughts and thinkers, guiding listeners through the debates that made the world. In restoring the best of the intellectual life of the twentieth century, this audiobook charts a pathway for moral life in the twenty-first."
