Max Boot is one of America's leading military historians and foreign-policy analysts. The Jeane J. Kirkpatrick senior fellow in national security studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, he is the author of two-widely acclaimed books: "The Savage Wars of Peace: Small Wars and the Rise of American Power" and "War Made New: Technology, Warfare, and the Course of History, 1500 to Today." His latest book--"Invisible Armies: An Epic History of Guerrilla Warfare from Ancient Times to the Present"--will be coming out in January 2013. He is also a regular contributor to The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, and many other publications. He has advised military commanders in Iraq and Afghanistan, and his books have been assigned reading by the military services. He has been called "a master historian" by the New York Times and a "a penetrating writer and thinker" by The Wall Street Journal. For more information, see www.maxboot.net.
As fitting for the twenty-first century as von Clausewitz’s On War was in its own time, Invisible Armies is a complete global history of guerrilla uprisings through the ages.
Beginning with the first insurgencies in the ancient world―when Alexander the Great discovered that fleet nomads were harder to defeat than massive conventional armies―Max Boot, best-selling author and military advisor in Iraq and Afghanistan, masterfully guides us from the Jewish rebellion against the Roman Empire up through the horrors of the French-Indochina War and the shadowy, post-9/11 battlefields of today. Relying on a diverse cast of unforgettable characters―not only Mao and Che but also the legendary Italian nationalist Giuseppe Garibaldi, the archaeologist-turned–military commander T. E. Lawrence, and the “Quiet American” Edward Lansdale, among others―Boot explodes everything we thought we knew about unconventional combat. The result is both an enthralling read and our most important work on nontraditional warfare. 70 illustrations; 8 maps

評分該書究竟有多少刪節?譯者趙國星因缺乏教養被踢齣讀者群 昨天看到本書翻譯趙國星的微博,說自己被踢齣瞭社科文獻甲骨文的讀者群。 因為本人一直關心甲骨文書係,也是甲骨文叢書的忠實讀者,因此我詢問相關同學得知: 群內有讀者嚮趙國星詢問該書被嚴重閹割、刪節的問題時,趙...
評分作者不是單純的曆史考究者和理論推演者,而是用龐大的數據和許多真實可靠的曆史事件來說明遊擊戰的過去和現在,裏麵針對於中國的一些曆史知識,甚至比大多數中國人還要信手拈來。本書從來不會為瞭某個特定的觀點而使曆史事件收到主觀的修改,真實性十分值得肯定。書中體現的一...
評分本來看著原作者的麵子,想給2顆星的,但這是對以後讀者的不負責任。這本書的翻譯,極其業餘、粗糙、不認真。很多詞句的錯誤、語法的錯誤、很多地方的遣詞造句非常幼稚可笑,像中學生翻譯的。另,我聽網上有人反饋這是個閹割版,特意找瞭原著來對照一下,發現確實閹割得很厲害,...

圖書標籤: 軍事 曆史 遊擊戰 政治 戰爭史 英語 軍事史 英文版
沒颱灣那一幫人寫的推薦語裏吹捧得那麼好,boot 的寫作目的基本就是給人一個話題,免得那些大佬們再一次鬧齣80年代,秘密行動委員會的頭頭在一次聽證會上說齣:“孩子,你剛纔說的這些,我一句都聽不懂” 的醜聞。
評分幾個錯誤: 1、任何一種戰法隻是技術,不決定戰爭雙方的正義屬性。 2、把戰法與身份掛鈎,低端血統論而已。 3、將選擇戰鬥形式的對象的身份淩駕在戰術屬性之上,這種傲慢的低端錯誤,非蠢,即奸。 4、既非軍事著作,也不是曆史著作。 5、美式土鱉意識形態,純沒屁閑格楞嗓子。
