The "dean of Cold War historians" ( The New York Times ) now presents the definitive account of the global confrontation that dominated the last half of the twentieth century. Drawing on newly opened archives and the reminiscences of the major players, John Lewis Gaddis explains not just what happened but why —from the months in 1945 when the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. went from alliance to antagonism to the barely averted holocaust of the Cuban Missile Crisis to the maneuvers of Nixon and Mao, Reagan and Gorbachev. Brilliant, accessible, almost Shakespearean in its drama, The Cold War stands as a triumphant summation of the era that, more than any other, shaped our own.

好歹这本书阅读障碍很小,虽然作者仍不自觉使用着一种高姿态的叙述方式,但至少跟遏制战略(Strategies of Containment,推荐05年6月更新过的原文版本,但中译本没有做更新)之类的其它著作相比这本书的目标显然是畅销榜而非学术圈。 在时间线上,正如作者本人在前言中所写的一...

有批评说本书内容过于笼统概括,相反,这是高度凝练的代表。为了让生于冷战后的学生了解甚至理解这场复杂的对抗而不会因十几册的冷战史望而却步,这本书被压缩到300页,可贵的是关键事实并未遗漏。尤其像我这样的,几百页的小册子刚好可以作为练习英文的材料。

今年有两本书出乎意外,没想会有中译本,一本这个,一本古拉格。想想07年冬天,那段生命中最寒冷的日子,每月工资除了还帐和大头的生活费所剩无几,压根不敢买书,在南大门外的瑞澜书店见到这两本原版书,数度流连忘返,最终还是在离校前狠狠心买下了。

1、可以当做冷战大事记来读,历史呈现方式比较有趣,文笔也不错,不愧是哈佛教历史的。 2、充满了意识形态的偏见,满是掩盖不住的资本主义知识分子自鸣得意。这种主观情况意味着,作者记录的历史也是主观偏见的。 3、2005年写的。若2008年经济危机早些发生,或者新冠疫情早些发生,他的语调恐怕就不同了吧。

因为给别人推荐所以今晚又草草过了一遍这本书,Lewis的冷战史是一本简明的入门级读物。今晚突然get到两个很神奇的比喻,一个是他把中美苏三角与梅特涅卡斯尔雷的欧洲协调和俾斯麦体系相提并论,另一个是他把尼克松取消之后的登月计划和洪熙皇帝对郑和下西洋比较。当然这本书不能到五星的根源还是,它太入门水平了。。。
