In \u003ci\u003eWhen the Facts Change\u003c\/i\u003e, Tony Judt’s widow and fellow historian Jennifer Homans has assembled an essential collection of Judt’s most important and influential pieces written in the last fifteen years of his life, when he found his voice in the public sphere. These seminal essays reflect the full range of Judt’s concerns, including Europe as an idea and in reality; Israel, the Holocaust, and the Jews; American hyperpower and the world after 9\/11; and issues of social inclusion and social justice in a time of increasing inequality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJudt believed his real job was not to say what \u003ci\u003ewasn't\u003c\/i\u003e but to say what \u003ci\u003ewas\u003c\/i\u003e—to tell a convincing, clear story from available evidence, and to do it with a view of what was right and what was just. This was not only a duty, but a moral responsiblity for Judt and \u003ci\u003eWhen the Facts Change\u003c\/i\u003e is a testament to his legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gildan Media Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050429726960,"sku":"9781469061078","price":118.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781469061078_p0.jpg?v=1763698845","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781469061078","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
