Thinking the Twentieth Century. Intellectuals and Politics in the Twentieth Century

Thinking the Twentieth Century is a major new history of modern intellectual life—an original and moving blend of intellectual history, personal reflection, and passionate debate spanning continents and generations. In a dialogue with fellow historian Timothy Snyder, Tony Judt reflects on the ironies and paradoxes of twentieth-century thought—from fascism and communism to liberalism and social democracy—and the legacy left to us today. The book is published in German by Hanser Verlag under the title "Nachdenken über das 20. Jahrhundert".
