I'm halfway through Postwar, and it is already the most brilliant, authoritative and wonderful book on Europe post 1945. I don't share his social democratic politics, and it is easy to punch holes in his arguments against rightist politics, but there is no doubting his intellect and the power of his writing. It's such a shame for Left that Mr Judt died, because it has emasculated itself in recent years.
my mother died bcuz of dis sickness on january of diz year 2011
r.i.p. we will always have u in our heart nd 4 da ppl dat wants to knw dis sickness spread fast on my mother she only lasted 10 months da last month she was with us she couldnt walk couldnt move no part of her body she couldnt talk for wat i understood her she used to say her tougue felt really heavy :,( thiz was the hardest months of my life missin u mother nd god plz help find a cure for dis ppl r.i.p.
This is a very rare disease and you cant live up to three years. Every one should remember that this can happen in any age and their is no cure it takes a while to paralyze your body.

At least he will have a long life..... If you get this disease you can not live up to three years! Remember youtube this is a very rare disease and it is painless.
I was diagnosed with ALS three months ago and I'm only 22. Tony Judt is a hero and someone you can truly look up to. We seriously need to reform the euthanasia laws in the UK.
@pragmatismnotidealis can i ask what the very early signs where and how it was diagnosed because its in my family and i have just had a blood test and it was clear .
Step father died of MND on Feb 18th 2011. He experienced spasms in his muscles about 3 years ago. He then started to trip over (Drop Foot) and started falling. He was still driving this time last year.
muscle bipopsy in March 10. In May I raised concerns about his breathing because he was gasping for air. September 10 2010 was diagnosis day. put on Rizuzole. Died of Aspiration Pneumpnia. He was 66
Such a brilliant historian.. Even in the face of death, he is able to explain so properly and clear what this disease does to him.. He will be missed..
Tremendous fortitude and dignity when facing certain death. This reminds me of my father contemplating his own death, in his case from Cancer. I hope i display the same qualities as these great 2 men when it is my turn to die.
so touched by the honest video. My dad has motor neurone, and it is so, so sad. Most touched by the last few seconds. Of course, we want dad to stay around, but only as we remember him - when he could breathe properly. This is fading fast. God bless Tony's family. You are, like all of us who experience motor neurone, very brave.
@rachelgolem I really feel sorry for wasting my time on a fucking idiot that goes around in every fucking Tony Judt video writing the exact same shit. No mind to at least make it variable. Too bad, I just feel like it.
forever is an awfully long time, PP, grow up.
you do not get to decide who is the intellectual until you produce some substantial, orijinal thoughts. and until you grow up.
thank god i haven't met a jew like you. thank god they were all pretty open-minded fellas. thank god.
The Mossad finally got him with Biological Weapons - much like the Russians when they killed Litvinenko with Polonium poisoning. It is so bloody obvious. Tony Judt was an outspoken critic of Israel and its International Lobby. I fear for Norman Finkelstein and Noam Chomsky.
@JOHNCLEESE10021 oh come on...seriously, if the mossad killed other jews they would have got rid of Mordechai Vanunu. They dont because the mossad defends jews, it was set up for that purpose and even jews considered traitors have not been killed. Its just very very unfortunate. RIP Tony Judt, a brilliant mind
Professor, u are an amazing exemple how love always wins, do the natural course of life, in the end, everybody is going to end the same. Ur family is precious to u and i am sure u are very much precious for them. U will be in my prayer tonight.
OH MY GOD ... I had no idea Tony Judt had developed this disease. This is a total shock. I'm halfway through 'Postwar' at the moment. Thus it has just struck me how extraordinarily painful it will be to have a mind that capacious trapped in a body that atrophied. I really do feel for him. This must seem like such an extraordinarily cruel stroke of fate. I so enjoyed listening to his interviews in particular.
@shadowgirl0907 they are so far from finding any sort of effective treatment for this disease. it's penicious to deny that and say facile things like "biopsychologists are making rapid advancements :)" They are not, and Tony Judt is smart enough and honest enough and brave enough to know that.
