Book cover for Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945
Post-national, welfare-state, cooperative, pacific Europe was not born of the optimistic, ambitious, forward-looking project imagined in fond retrospect by today’s Euro-idealists. It was the insecure child of anxiety. Shadowed by history, ...more

“Solidarity was financed largely from the US and it was the US that gave the most insistent official encouragement to protesters in Berlin and elsewhere—once it was clear that they would probably win.”
― Tony Judt, Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945

“Serbian shelling of Sarajevo resumed. When NATO planes bombed Bosnian Serb installations in response, the Serbs seized 350 UN peacekeepers as hostages. Terrified for the fate of their soldiers, Western governments importuned the UN and NATO to desist. The international presence, far from constraining the Serbs, now offered them additional cover.”
― Tony Judt, Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945

عباس محمود العقاد
“نعم، إننا لم نصل إلى طرف الروح الأقصى، ولكننا وصلنا إلى طرف المادة الأقصى، أو لعلنا قد عرفنا طريق القنطرة بين العدوتين إن لم نكن قد أقمناها، وشرعنا في العبور عليها. ماذا بقي من المادة الغليظة الجاسية؟ … ماذا بقي من الجرم الجاثم الذي يناقض الروحانية؟ … إننا نقترب، إننا نقترب، إننا نقترب، إننا مع النور نصل إلى الملتقى الموعود، ولعلنا لا نصل إليه إن وصلنا من طريق غير هذه الطريق. قل: إن الكون حركة لا مادة فيه. ذلك أيسر لك من أن تقول: إن الكون جرم لا روح فيه! قل: إن الكون نور. قل: إن الله نور السماوات والأرض، فإذا قصر بك الحس عن نور الله فثق أن هذا الضياء الذي يملأ الفضاء هو النور الإلهي الذي كُتِب لابن الفناء أن يراه.”
― عباس محمود العقاد, ‫أنا‬

Tony Judt
“Srebrenica was officially ‘protected’ not just by UN mandate but by a 400–strong peacekeeping contingent of armed Dutch soldiers. But when Mladić’s men arrived the Dutch battalion laid down its arms and offered no resistance whatsoever as Serbian troops combed the Muslim community, systematically separating men and boys from the rest. The next day, after Mladić had given his ‘word of honor as an officer’ that the men would not be harmed, his soldiers marched the Muslim males, including boys as young as thirteen, out into the fields around Srebrenica. In the course of the next four days nearly all of them—7,400—were killed. The Dutch soldiers returned safely home to Holland.”
― Tony Judt, Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945

Tony Judt
“The United Nations showed little initial concern—its inadequate and unconcerned Secretary-General, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, described Bosnia as ‘a rich man’s war’—”
