A great thinker's final testament: a characteristically wise and
forthright collection of essays from the author of Postwar and
Thinking the Twentieth Century that feels all the more potent and
important in today's political climate. Edited and introduced by
Jennifer Homans. Tony Judt's widow and fellow historian, Jennifer
Homans, has gathered together important essays from the span of
Judt's career that chronicle both the evolution of his thought and
the remarkable consistency of his passionate engagement and
intellectual elan. Whether the subject is the scholarly poverty of
the new social history, the willful blindness of French collective
memory about what happened to the country's Jews during World War
II, or the moral challenge to Israel of the so-called Palestinian
problem, the majesty of Tony Judt's work lies in his combination of
unsparing honesty, intellectual brilliance, and ethical clarity.
When the Facts Change exemplifies the necessity of minding our
history and not letting cheerful fictions suffice in its place. An
emphatic demonstration of the power of a great historian to connect
us more deeply to the world as it was, as it is, and as it should
be, it is a fitting capstone to an extraordinary body of work.
