当时在逛图书馆的时候无意间发现的这本书,由于听说过这个电影就随手借来看看。前面的部分很无聊,都是在介绍几名士兵的故事,可能是因为我不太喜欢看传记之类的书吧。但是越往下看越停不下来,每个人心里都有一个二战那段时期的画面,我也曾经看过很多二战时期的书籍,但是从...
评分如果这本书讲述的不是真实的人物、事件而是小说的话,我早就把它扔到一边去了。因为翻译水平实在是不敢恭维,一些军语的错误咬咬牙也就忍了,这年头做书的路数大多是短平快能赚钱就行,谁会费那么大劲给你找军事或是历史专家去啊。可很多地方连中文都不是很通顺,这就让人忍无...

评分一副历史书的做派,然而作者不时还是要露一点马脚,说着说着“我父亲”就出来了。大约作者是S. Ambrose的粉丝,这本书跟《兄弟连》怎么就那么像呢,无论是遣词造句还是切入角度。真是有趣。 不过书显然是详略不如电影得当。太纠缠于海军陆战队的作战细节,很多东西跟主题并不...

In this unforgettable chronicle of perhaps the most famous moment in American military history, James Bradley has captured the glory, the triumph, the heartbreak, and the legacy of the six men who raised the flag at Iwo Jima. Here is the true story behind the immortal photograph that has come to symbolize the courage and indomitable will of America.
In February 1945, American Marines plunged into the surf at Iwo Jima—and into history. Through a hail of machine-gun and mortar fire that left the beaches strewn with comrades, they battled to the island's highest peak. And after climbing through a landscape of hell itself, they raised a flag.
Now the son of one of the flagraisers has written a powerful account of six very different young men who came together in a moment that will live forever.
To his family, John Bradley never spoke of the photograph or the war. But after his death at age seventy, his family discovered closed boxes of letters and photos. In Flags of Our Fathers, James Bradley draws on those documents to retrace the lives of his father and the men of Easy Company. Following these men's paths to Iwo Jima, James Bradley has written a classic story of the heroic battle for the Pacific's most crucial island—an island riddled with Japanese tunnels and 22,000 fanatic defenders who would fight to the last man.
But perhaps the most interesting part of the story is what happened after the victory. The men in the photo—three were killed during the battle—were proclaimed heroes and flown home, to become reluctant symbols. For two of them, the adulation was shattering. Only James Bradley's father truly survived, displaying no copy of the famous photograph in his home, telling his son only: "The real heroes of Iwo Jima were the guys who didn't come back."
Few books ever have captured the complexity and furor of war and its aftermath as well as Flags of Our Fathers. A penetrating, epic look at a generation at war, this is history told with keen insight, enormous honesty, and the passion of a son paying homage to his father. It is the story of the difference between truth and myth, the meaning of being a hero, and the essence of the human experience of war.
