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.

象一枚安放在當年的鏡頭,降臨人間。 這鏡頭,在熱帶樹林裏看到暴雨滿天,在深入傷口看見半截吸血蟲,又衝到太空見證地球風雲流嚮,接著直接墜落到某時某刻某個人失意落魄喪魂的心… 被完整拆解的宏大,一氣嗬成,仿佛一場沒有剪輯充滿細節和戲劇的電影。戰爭造就瞭這一切,...
評分看到《滇緬公路》這本書,我不假思索地買瞭下來。理由有三。《滇緬公路》講的二戰的故事。二戰像一列火車,在六十多年前就到站瞭,但它始終未曾從送行的視綫裏消失。二戰有太多的題材,吸引著太多的眼球。書名裏的公路兩字,對我有緻命的誘惑。走多遠,公路也有盡頭,可夢想好...

評分這本書是去騰衝的路上看的,從愛炫耀的胖子手裏搶過來,帶給一個在騰衝工作的朋友。書寫得並不是很好看,如果不是從北京到昆明,從昆明到芒市,然後到騰衝的時間太長,這本書我是看不完的。 芒市到騰衝,不知道為什麼這次隻能走盤山的老路,足足花瞭五個小時,路邊時常可見修...
