Abstract: The present paper deals with main issues concerning the historical work of Tony Judt (1948-2010) who devoted his entire life to the contemporary history. In the first stage of his scientific career it was the French left but later he studied issues from broader perspective, which culminated in a comprehensive book Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945. Throughout all his work he sought an update of history and did not even fear to comment current world politics (for example controversy to Israel). Judt was also interested in the profiles of intellectuals and phenomena such as crisis of the welfare state or the Holocaust. |
