这段历史不知道珍藏了多少年,不知道多少人被埋没在这场悲壮的战争中,当这段历史渐渐浮出水面的时候,人们才知道这场战争是多么的惨烈。 貌似当局对于这场战争不怎么肯定,因为不是共产党打的,是那支很少在历史上提起的队伍打响的。 这场战争的惨烈让人不堪回首...

评分从美国人的视角来描述缅甸战争,全面描述了缅甸战争,书中描述的从缅甸反攻的部分与我之前了解的不一样:书中着重描写了“掠夺者部队”的战斗,也提到了英军的作战,但是对中国部队的作用却轻描淡写。作者的视角带有浓烈的个人感情因素,不客观。期待以后有客观公正并且全面描...
评分看韦伯斯特写的《滇缅公路》。其实我早收集了很多二战期间这一带地区的书。有一次去云南保山,有一个怪怪歪歪的书店,里面有很多这类书,比大城市大书店多,一下子买了很多本。可这次看《滇缅公路》时,想一口气都看了,可是发现找不到了,只找到一本《中国远征军在缅北》...
评分抛开本书所讲的历史不谈,整本书的字里行间都给人一种作者的骄傲感,他认为美国人在这一故事中扮演救世主并为此而骄傲。我不反美,但很不耐烦作者的hollywood式的叙事语气,再加上他的恢宏的跳跃性的笔法,俺看了大半就撑不下去了,所以只能很遗憾地放弃受教。
图书标签: 缅甸 印度 二战
As the Imperial Japanese Army swept across China and South Asia at World War II's outset, closing all of China's seaports, more than 200,000 Chinese laborers embarked on a seemingly impossible task: to cut a 700-mile overland route -- the Burma Road -- from the southwest Chinese city of Kunming to Lashio, Burma. But when Burma fell in 1942, the Burma Road was severed. As the first step of the Allied offensive toward Japan, American general Joseph Stilwell reopened it, while, at the same time, keeping China supplied by air-lift from India and simultaneously driving the Japanese out of Burma. From the breathtaking adventures of the American "Hump" pilots who flew hair-raising missions over the Himalayas to make food-drops in China to the true story of the mission that inspired the famous film The Bridge on the River Kwai , to the grueling jungle operations of Merrill's Marauders and the British Chindit Brigades, The Burma Road vividly re-creates the sprawling, sometimes hilarious, often harrowing, and still largely unknown stories of one of the greatest chapters of World War II.
