Hindsight, then, is a tricky tool. Too much of it and we obscure the all-pervasive sense of contingency as well as the problematic character of the choices facing the revolutionary generation. On the other hand, without some measure of hindsight, some panor...
评分 评分作者提供了如何看待历史事件的一个方法框架。既置身于历史事件之中观察其细节并分析体会当时的情境,又以后代的眼光从更遥远宏大的角度去观察。如开篇中作者对“后见之明”的看法: 后见之明是一种很微妙的东西。一方面,我们若过于依赖它,就会忽视这样一个事实:偶然性是无所...

In this landmark work of history, the National Book Award—winning author of American Sphinx explores how a group of greatly gifted but deeply flawed individuals–Hamilton, Burr, Jefferson, Franklin, Washington, Adams, and Madison–confronted the overwhelming challenges before them to set the course for our nation.
The United States was more a fragile hope than a reality in 1790. During the decade that followed, the Founding Fathers–re-examined here as Founding Brothers–combined the ideals of the Declaration of Independence with the content of the Constitution to create the practical workings of our government. Through an analysis of six fascinating episodes–Hamilton and Burr’s deadly duel, Washington’s precedent-setting Farewell Address, Adams’ administration and political partnership with his wife, the debate about where to place the capital, Franklin’s attempt to force Congress to confront the issue of slavery and Madison’s attempts to block him, and Jefferson and Adams’ famous correspondence– Founding Brothers brings to life the vital issues and personalities from the most important decade in our nation’s history.
The Collaborator一章还不错,杰斐逊也宣告了partisan politics正式到来
评分Elegantly written.

评分founding brothers AKA 国父搅基录xxx作为入坑作品挺好的呀,因为好玩儿又有干货,适合从ap ush解脱出来xxx成功让我从ship JATJ变成了all TJ,麦老师世界第一…淑女!
评分美国立国之初的意识形态博弈。这本书写得再好不过,所以肯定五星;不过作者偏向杰斐逊,而我更认同亚当斯,美国例外论不但荒唐而且非常危险。
