How is it? I'm not too familiar with Judt, although Souciant had a nice remembrance of him recently. As someone who loves history, Judt's an author I feel like I should get to know. What are your thoughts?

So far it's Barbara Tuchman awesome. Keep in mind: I do most of my heavy lifting as audiobooks. This tome comes in slightly heavier than GRRM's Storm of Swords at 50+ hours. I've been listening for 23 hours and we're all the way up the Suez Crisis, so to call it "intricate" is to understate the level of discussion.
