In "The Sleepwalkers" acclaimed historian and author of Iron Kingdom, Christopher Clark, examines the causes of the First World War. Sunday Times Books of the Year 2012. The moments that it took Gavrilo Princip to step forward to the stalled car and shoot dead Franz Ferdinand and his wife were perhaps the most fateful of the modern era. An act of terrorism of staggering efficiency, it fulfilled its every aim: it would liberate Bosnia from Habsburg rule and it created a powerful new Serbia, but it also brought down four great empires, killed millions of men and destroyed a civilization. What made a seemingly prosperous and complacent Europe so vulnerable to the impact of this assassination? In "The Sleepwalkers" Christopher Clark retells the story of the outbreak of the First World War and its causes. Drawing on many fresh new sources, this account reveals a Europe very different from the familiar picture, putting Serbia and the Balkans at the centre of the story. Starting with the brutal assassination of Alexander I of Serbia in 1903, Clark shows how, far from being the place of enviable stability it appears to us, Europe was racked by chronic problems: a multipolar, fractured, multicultural world of clashing ideals, terrorism, militancy and instability, which was, fatefully, saddled with a conspicuously ineffectual set of political leaders. He shows how the rulers of Europe, who prided themselves on their modernity and rationalism, behaved like sleepwalkers, stumbling through crisis after crisis and finally convincing themselves that war was the only answer. Reviews: "Formidable ...one of the most impressive and stimulating studies of the period ever published". (Max Hastings, "Sunday Times"). "The arguments [Clark] sets out in this quite superb account of the causes of the First World War are so compelling that they effectively consign the old historical consensus to the bin ...a masterpiece. It's not often that one has the privilege of reading a book that reforges our understanding of one of the seminal events of world history". ("Mail Online"). "Impeccably researched, provocatively argued and elegantly written, his book is a model of scholarship". ("Sunday Times", Books of the Year 2012). "A brilliant contribution". ("Times Higher Education"). "Clark is fully alive to the challenges of the subject. Planting himself at the contingent end of the spectrum, he prefers to establish how the war happened rather than to explain why by means of hindsight ...It is a refreshing approach. He provides vivid portraits of leading figures ...[He] also gives a rich sense of what contemporaries believed was at stake in the crises leading up to the war". ("Irish Times").

0p “一战”是一场悲剧,而非一桩罪行。战争的所有参与者,无论是领导人、外交官还是将军,在一触即发之际,都莽撞自负、懦弱多变。他们不是狂徒,也不是谋杀犯,而是一群懵懵懂懂,不知未来走向的“梦游者”。 0p 约翰·基根:短视和贪婪、自私加软弱、平庸与激情,所有要素...

评分作者在400页的篇幅中,以巴尔干半岛的内部局势为引子,逐渐将漩涡扩大到德法俄英四个大国的外交。同时对于孤立事件做到多方面陈述,使得国内纠纷与国际形势很好的结合起来。 一战作为近现代社会第一场大战,诱发的因素很多。虽然萨拉热窝加速了整体进程,但是并不能由此将其作...
评分丘吉尔说过,一战最神秘的就是开头,到底怎么爆发的。传统的观点是,德国蓄意发动了一战。可后来的历史学家大多倾向于认为德国确实最轻率鲁莽,但谈不上有事先的周密计划。 Christopher Clark在 The Sleepwalkers这本书中认为,“一战的爆发是一场悲剧,但不是一桩罪行。”德国...
评分内容很详细,但个人感觉条理较乱,很分散。翻译的确算不上很好,作为一本专业书籍,全书注释很少,非专业人士看这本书还是需要一些其他辅助材料配合。
