“This book is a historical exploration, a biography, and an ethical treatise,” says one of its co-authors, American historian Timothy Snyder. The focus of his conversations with Tony Judt is “the history of contemporary political ideas in Europe and the United States; power and justice as understood by liberal, socialist, communist, nationalist, and fascist intellectuals from the late 19th to the early 21st centuries.”
According to Timothy Snyder, one of the most important of their conversations with Tony Judt was “reflections on the limitations (and resurgence) of political ideas, as well as on the moral failures (and responsibilities) of intellectuals in politics.”
At the same time, "Reflections on the 20th Century" is also a biography of historian and essayist Tony Judt, who was born in London in the mid-20th century, after the cataclysms of World War II and the Holocaust, at a time when communists were asserting power in Eastern Europe.
