[lbo-talk] Judt and "The Burden of Responsibility"

[Peter Lavelle]

Happy New Year All, 
I was not on the list while out of Moscow during New Year’s. Doug was kind enough to send me the article concerning Tony Judt and the bombshell he dropped on the topic of Israel and that country’s future. 

For those on the list not familiar with Judt’s work, I strongly suggest picking up his “The Burden of Responsibility: Blum, Camus, Aron, and French Twentieth Century” (U. Chicago Press, 1998). The chapter on Blum is of particular interest – it provides a wonderful example of Judt’s intellectual rigor. Read this less than 200 page book and understand why Judt’s commentary on Israel comes as no surprise.
