I agree with that impression of Tony Judt. "Ill Fares the Land" and "When the Facts Change" are both superb and, at least as far as I can see, quite neglected.

His dismantling of Burleigh, posted by Der above,is quite the kerb stomp. What a surprise that his (Burleigh's) defence of the Catholic Church during WWII completely ignore Stepinac and his mini-holocaust.

Speaking of which, this caught my eye in the Judt review, quoting Burleigh, "His targets range from Pastor Martin Niemöller (“incarcerated, none too onerously, in Sachsenhausen concentration camp)".

Wow. That's a pretty astonishing thing to say.
