I have expected much from David Halberstam’s <The Coldest Winter>. It has an outstanding name, which showed the author’s cleverness, wide audience on Amazon and not too many peer accounts about Korean War. So it’s not a hard choice to choose this one amo...
评分这本《最寒冷的冬天》已经入手颇长一段时间了,却迟迟未开始阅读。原因无他,只因这书看上去实在太厚了点,让人一眼就觉得要读完是多么遥遥无期。不过这似乎是西方纪实类作品的常态,似乎不写成一部砖头一样的著作,就不够格称“纪实作品”。不过真正开始阅读后,才发觉其实本...
评分朝鲜战争在战争史上本是一场局部战争,无论其规模还是影响力,似乎都无法在历史中占有重要的一席之地,也很少被人提及,但是细观这一场战争却又绝非如此简单,这又是一场见微知著,牵一发而动全身的战争,围绕着朝鲜角力的几个国家均是超级大国,且互相之间有着微妙的制...
评分挺厚的书,花了我不少的茶余饭后时间。看到有评论说连对阵的部队神马的都没有说清楚,令人失望云云的。评价很中肯,但是作者压根没有打算写一部扣人心弦的二战小说,这书从头到尾讲的都是政治博弈,麦克阿瑟与几个总统的明争暗斗,战局与美国国内的政治环境神马的,要么标题是...

Up until now, the Korean War has been the black hole of modern American history. "The Coldest Winter" changes that, giving readers a masterful narrative of the political decisions and miscalculations on both sides. He charts the disastrous path that led to the massive entry of Chinese forces near the Yalu, and that caught Douglas MacArthur and his soldiers by surprise. He provides astonishingly vivid and nuanced portraits of all the major figures - Eisenhower, Truman, Acheson, Kim, and Mao, and Generals MacArthur, Almond, and Ridgway.At the heart of the book are the individual stories of the soldiers on the front lines who were left to deal with the consequences of the dangerous misjudgments and competing agendas of powerful men. We meet them, follow them, and see some of the most dreadful battles in history through their eyes. As ever, Halberstam was concerned with the extraordinary courage and resolve of people asked to bear an extraordinary burden. Contemporary history in its most literary and luminescent form, "The Coldest Winter" provides crucial perspective on the Vietnam War and the events of today.
