Insightful in its bursts of give and take between Judt and Snyder on some of the niches of early 20th Century thought, far less interesting when they get bogged down in shop talk about what it means to be a historian. I once would have found that kind of talk valuable, but Snyder’s outsized public persona, like most intellectuals in the States, sours my impression of him somehow.
