Thinking the Twentieth Century

The book covers so many significant events, and I'm curious how the author chose which to emphasize. Was it based on personal importance or historical impact?

Judt's memoir elements made the history feel more alive and relatable. Did these moments change how others perceived the events he discusses?

The blending of biography and history offers a unique perspective. I wonder what motivated Judt to intertwine his own experiences with the broader narrative.
