之前在热销榜上寻得此书,就像跑步之前的热身总是稍显无趣,书的开篇并没有吸引到我,反而由于纪实文学的特点,所有东西显得没有头绪。不过当我我关注新闻中isis出现时,让我对于中东这个神奇的地方产生了浓厚的兴趣。而恰巧我也逐渐来到了书中最吸引我的地方。作者毕竟是西方...
评分“9·11”事件后,小布什政府以反恐的名义发动战争,其中伊拉克、阿富汗和巴基斯坦是最主要的战场。对于中国人来说,这几场战争未必有点遥远。当年反恐这个词似乎只关美国人的事儿。即便人们关注新闻,看到萨达姆雕像被推倒,或者层出不穷的自杀性炸弹,似乎也不会注意太多...
评分在阅读中真正地体会到伊拉克和阿富汗战场中人民的难言伤痛,人性宗教利益权利各种因素掺杂其中。战争将人无论是身体还是心灵摧残殆尽,思想严重扭曲,有时杀人只不过为了一个随意的理由,暗杀和恐怖袭击处处可见,使得爆炸与死亡似乎已成为常态。 这才是真可怕的,一代代的人民...
评分从一开始就注定了心情沉重,绝望,死心。只求安安静静地读完,离开,睡觉。 为什么一直是穆斯林?全世界其他宗教都好好的,为什么战争、恐怖活动总是牵扯着他们?记得大学时一次英语外教给我们列了几件事让我们选出认为最不应该的。候选的无一例外都controversial,如一个慈善...
评分在血腥味和尸臭中沤肥的思想,写出的句子没有废话,只有微微的凉意和咬着牙关的狠劲。有点儿《战争之王》台词的意思。在Dexter Filkins的故事中,你能同时嗅出两种味道,他完全明白自己所讲故事的精彩程度,但并不乐见它们如此精彩。像一个久经欢场的妓女一边津津乐道她神乎其...

From the front lines of the battle against Islamic fundamentalism, a searing, unforgettable book that captures the human essence of the greatest conflict of our time.
Through the eyes of Dexter Filkins, the prizewinning New York Times correspondent whose work was hailed by David Halberstam as “reporting of the highest quality imaginable,” we witness the remarkable chain of events that began with the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s, continued with the attacks of 9/11, and moved on to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Filkins’s narrative moves across a vast and various landscape of amazing characters and astonishing scenes: deserts, mountains, and streets of carnage; a public amputation performed by Taliban; children frolicking in minefields; skies streaked white by the contrails of B-52s; a night’s sleep in the rubble of Ground Zero.
We embark on a foot patrol through the shadowy streets of Ramadi, venture into a torture chamber run by Saddam Hussein. We go into the homes of suicide bombers and into street-to-street fighting with a battalion of marines. We meet Iraqi insurgents, an American captain who loses a quarter of his men in eight days, and a young soldier from Georgia on a rooftop at midnight reminiscing about his girlfriend back home. A car bomb explodes, bullets fly, and a mother cradles her blinded son.
Like no other book, The Forever War allows us a visceral understanding of today’s battlefields and of the experiences of the people on the ground, warriors and innocents alike. It is a brilliant, fearless work, not just about America’s wars after 9/11, but ultimately about the nature of war itself.
感觉就像一篇超长的《纽约时报》周刊的文章。说实话在读了这么多报道后,里面的内容已经有些过时,而且很难有任何出人意料的成分。而且,这种以个人经历为主的书籍很难像Emerald City一样让人一下子看清全景,更多是盲人摸象的感觉。但无论如何,此书依然写的还不错,另外也有些让人感动的地方。
评分因为英语水平有限,全文有大量的环境描写,读起来十分的不顺畅。看的相当痛苦。视角个人感觉很有代入感。
评分挺好看
