[美]托马斯•E. 里克斯(Thomas E.Ricks)
美国军事记者中的“白头海雕”
★ 两次普利策国内新闻报道奖获奖者
★《外交政策》杂志的特约编辑
新美国安全中心研究员、中东问题专家托马斯• E. 里克斯是《华盛顿邮报》的资深军事记者,主要负责报导美国在海外的军事行动。其足迹遍布索马里、海地、朝鲜、科索沃、波斯尼亚、马其顿、科威特、阿富汗、土耳其和伊拉克等国。
早在2000 年,里克斯与其团队写下一系列阐述美军应如何适应21 世纪新需求的文章,他因此获得了普利策奖。2002 年,在详细报导了美国反恐的初期行动后,克里斯再次荣膺普利策奖。
里克斯著有多本畅销书,包括曾雄踞《纽约时报》畅销书榜首的《大败局》(Fiasco),该书曾角逐普利策奖。
From the #1 bestselling author of Fiasco and The Gamble , an epic history of the decline of American military leadership from World War II to Iraq
History has been kind to the American generals of World War II—Marshall, Eisenhower, Patton, and Bradley—and less kind to the generals of the wars that followed. In The Generals , Thomas E. Ricks sets out to explain why that is. In part it is the story of a widening gulf between performance and accountability. During the Second World War, scores of American generals were relieved of command simply for not being good enough. Today, as one American colonel said bitterly during the Iraq War, “As matters stand now, a private who loses a rifle suffers far greater consequences than a general who loses a war.” In The Generals we meet great leaders and suspect ones, generals who rose to the occasion and those who failed themselves and their soldiers. Marshall and Eisenhower cast long shadows over this story, as does the less familiar Marine General O. P. Smith, whose fighting retreat from the Chinese onslaught into Korea in the winter of 1950 snatched a kind of victory from the jaws of annihilation.
But Korea also showed the first signs of an army leadership culture that neither punished mediocrity nor particularly rewarded daring. In the Vietnam War, the problem grew worse until, finally, American military leadership bottomed out. The My Lai massacre, Ricks shows us, is the emblematic event of this dark chapter of our history. In the wake of Vietnam a battle for the soul of the U.S. Army was waged with impressive success. It became a transformed institution, reinvigorated from the bottom up. But if the body was highly toned, its head still suffered from familiar problems, resulting in tactically savvy but strategically obtuse leadership that would win battles but end wars badly from the first Iraq War of 1990 through to the present.
Ricks has made a close study of America’s military leaders for three decades, and in his hands this story resounds with larger meaning: about the transmission of values, about strategic thinking, and about the difference between an organization that learns and one that fails.
读完托马斯·E. 里克斯写的《大国与将军》,发现三个问题:1、越南战争美军最大的失败是在自己的人事上;2、对于一个将军而言,批判性的思考比战术思想更为重要;3、美军是有弱点的,是可以打败的,而如果美国吸取了伊拉克战争和阿富汗战争的教训,就不会轻易去动伊朗。
评分初拿起本书的人或许会被封面的美国鹰,以及《大国与将军》这样的标题给吓住,如果再联想到马鼎盛、董家耀那机关枪一样的话语——不过很不幸的是,我还是在推荐语上看到了马老爷子的身影,很难让一般非军事迷继续翻下去,不过,作为一本描述美国历次战争及高级将领的书籍,《大...
评分“能者居之”,这是我对于马歇尔及其率领和培养的美国军队精神的最好概括,而这里的“能者”就是《大国与将军》一书中提及的马歇尔、艾森豪威尔、巴顿、麦克阿瑟等一位位伟大的美国将军们。托马斯•E•里克斯的这本力作,不仅是一本让人了解将军经历的自传,也不只是一本浏...
评分说道将军,大家心目中都会树立起很多威风凛凛的将军形象。将军在人们的心中是铁血的,是坚强的。将军不只是一个军事学上的名词,不只是一个军衔,他还构建了人们的一种想象。而在一个国家的建立过程当中,将军总会起到巨大的作用。比如中国的十大元帅,十大大将,构建了人...
评分三军易得,一将难求 ——读托马斯•E.里克斯《大国与将军》有感(1023字) 作者:苇眉儿 用美国五星上将乔治• 马歇尔的话来说,真正伟大的将军能克服一切困难,战斗、战役无非是需要被克服的一种困难而已。无论他们面对何种艰苦,都能展现才华,反败为胜。在托马斯•E....
