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").

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...

评分一战百年,选读了《阿拉伯的劳伦斯》和这一本,同样是好评如潮的严肃历史作品,前者的可读性显然更强。而到昨晚合上这一本的时候,除了比以往多知道几个名字以外,我对一战如何爆发仍旧不甚了了。 或许这恰恰是作者想要提供给读者的一种状态,若干史实仅仅作为证明各个帝国...
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。
评分好吧,作为草根我正在校对此书的电子版,不得不感谢中信出版社为我提供了这么一个“兴致盎然”的“大家来找茬”游戏。错译,错别字,两手两脚都用上了,还不够用!原书是极好的,有能力的同学还是阅读英文原版为佳,言简意赅,相当棒。可惜引进版煞风景了,出版社出书前必要的...
