最近看瞭一本好書,是美國女作傢巴巴拉·塔奇曼在上世紀六十年代寫的,書名是《八月炮火》。全書分為“計劃”、“爆發”和“激戰”三個部分,很係統的嚮我們描述瞭第一次世界大戰的成因、歐洲列強們為奪取霸權而而勾心鬥角、戰爭初期幾場大的戰役——烈日攻防戰、坦能堡戰役、...
評分這本書非常牛逼,寫的磅礴大氣又很有趣,唯一的缺點可能就是翻譯的不是太好,句子不是很符閤中國人閱讀的習慣。 這個作者還寫過一本《the distant mirror》,可惜還沒有被翻譯過來。

《The Guns of August》 62年初版,描寫1914一戰開始的30多天的驚心動魄,德法英俄諸國軍事政治戰略騰挪,詳述其間各大戰役,人類的驕傲愚蠢凶殘,新霸和舊王的惡鬥。據說當初肯尼迪總統處理古巴導彈危機亦受此書啓發。 作者美國名門閨秀,曆史玩票玩來瞭普利策奬。#推薦。http://book.douban.com/subject/1865586/
評分一度對世界大戰感興趣。一個個生命投入混亂的絞肉機。曆史書聽著聽著睡著也沒關係。醒瞭可以繼續。所以,這本我沒什麼特彆感覺。
評分What a pleasant historical nonfiction read. Very heart touching.

評分花瞭一個月讀瞭105年前的那個八月,那些謀劃與散漫,自負與懦弱,驕傲與恐懼,圓滑與固執,那些親手編織瞭宏大的曆史的人,在當時誰也不知道結局。隻有迴頭用上帝視角看的時候,纔更覺得個人的奮鬥真的無關緊要。
