Bloodlands

Here's a great review of Timonthy Snyder's book Bloodlands.
Surely, a unit on the history of twentieth century Europe next semester can justify this purchase?
Enjoy.

Reappraisals.

An article about historian Tony Judt. I relate to his confession that "I enjoyed teaching, and sitting in an armchair—feet up, with a glass of wine and a cigarette—reading books."
Am I attracted to academia for the right reasons?
Enjoy.
