Then And Now: How The World Has Changed Since WWII

Tad Szulc, 1990
Then and Now: How the World Has Changed Since Wwii



From Publishers Weekly

Former New York Times reporter Szulc ( Fidel ) here chronicles the sweep of global events and social transformations since the end of WW II, showing how they relate back to the war and how they have led unexpectedly to the most astonishing development of all: the erosion of Marxism-Leninism and the outbreak of "Democracy Fever" worldwide. In this intensely absorbing narrative, the author, who reported on many of the milestones of the last 50 years, covers much ground in great detail: the Indochina wars, the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, the Solidarity movement and recent upheavals in Eastern Europe. He presents his eyewitness observations and sharp insights in a unified chronicle that covers not only ideological struggles but trends in technology, medicine, literature and art. Szulc opines that the period under discussion encompasses "transformations more overwhelming, dramatic, and enriching" than any other. The book richly supports his view.

From Library Journal

Long-time overseas correspondent Szulc here files a report on his beat, postwar world affairs. His narrative account focuses on the United States, the Communist bloc, and the Third World. But this is too much like history to be wholly effective as journalism: the immediacy of personal observation is only infrequently evident. And it is too much like journalism to be effective as history; a lot of ground is covered at the sacrifice of analysis, and the book in parts is merely a recap of old news. Best known for Fidel ( LJ 1/87), his biography of Castro, Szulc is most successful in his treatment of the Third World, where "the West's . . . misunderstandings never seemed to end." He is weakest on domestic events, e.g., crediting John Kennedy with inspiring blacks to pursue civil rights: most historians now would disagree. An optional choice for public and undergraduate libraries.

Life

Szulc was born in Warsaw, the son of Seweryn and Janina Baruch Szulc. He attended school in Switzerland. In 1940 he emigrated from Poland to join his family (who had left Poland in the mid-1930s) in Brazil. There he studied at the University of Brazil, but in 1945 he abandoned his studies to work as a reporter for the Associated Press in Rio de Janeiro.

In 1949 he moved to New York City, and in 1954 he became an American citizen.

Married for 52 years, he had a son and daughter.

Szulc died of hepatocellular carcinoma and lung cancer, aged 74.

Career

From 1953 to 1972 Szulc was a foreign and Washington correspondent for The New York Times.

On 6 April 1961, nine days before the CIA-supported Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba, Szulc wrote a New York Times article stating that an invasion of Cuba was "imminent." Prior to its publication, President Kennedy became aware of the article and personally telephoned the New York Times' publisher. The Times yielded to the President's demand that the story be reduced in prominence and detail.

Awards

Szulc was a Knight of the French Légion d'honneur.
