在从国际角度看太平天国方面很有新意,但对于中国内部的问题只是叙述上的创新,没有太多洞见。

Stephen R. Platt is a historian of late imperial China, specializing in the nineteenth century and China's foreign relations, in University of Massachusetts. He was a 2008-2010 fellow of the Public Intellectuals Program of the National Committee on US-China Relations, and gives occasional talks on modern and contemporary China to audiences in education, government, and the general public. At UMass, he teaches courses on modern Chinese history from the 17th century to the present day, as well as seminars on US-China relations, comparative nationalism, and the writing of history.
Platt is the author most recently of Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom, a military history of the Taiping Rebellion in global context published by Knopf in the spring of 2012. He is beginning research for a future book on the old China trade and the coming of the Opium War. He is also the author of Provincial Patriots: The Hunanese and Modern China (Harvard University Press, 2007). Support for his research has come from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Fulbright program, and the Chiang Ching-Kuo Foundation.

A gripping account of China’s nineteenth-century Taiping Rebellion, one of the largest civil wars in history. Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom brims with unforgettable characters and vivid re-creations of massive and often gruesome battles—a sweeping yet intimate portrait of the conflict that shaped the fate of modern China.
The story begins in the early 1850s, the waning years of the Qing dynasty, when word spread of a major revolution brewing in the provinces, led by a failed civil servant who claimed to be the son of God and brother of Jesus. The Taiping rebels drew their power from the poor and the disenfranchised, unleashing the ethnic rage of millions of Chinese against their Manchu rulers. This homegrown movement seemed all but unstoppable until Britain and the United States stepped in and threw their support behind the Manchus: after years of massive carnage, all opposition to Qing rule was effectively snuffed out for generations. Stephen R. Platt recounts these events in spellbinding detail, building his story on two fascinating characters with opposing visions for China’s future: the conservative Confucian scholar Zeng Guofan, an accidental general who emerged as the most influential military strategist in China’s modern history; and Hong Rengan, a brilliant Taiping leader whose grand vision of building a modern, industrial, and pro-Western Chinese state ended in tragic failure.
This is an essential and enthralling history of the rise and fall of the movement that, a century and a half ago, might have launched China on an entirely different path into the modern world.
很喜欢作者的叙事风格,宏大、人物命运相互交错,但结语一章写的真不怎么样。我并不认为作者在用美国的内战与中国的内战作比较,而是在说明,如果没有爆发美国南北战争,淮军可能不会降临上海,戈登可能不会帮李鸿章攻下苏州,英国如果能一直保持中立,那太平天国一方可能不会...
评分(1)-历1-甲骨文系列1-《天国之秋》豆瓣8.2 咋说呢,这本书可以说开了我的一种全球史观,能把太平天国和美国内战联系到一起真的是很厉害了 可是他塑造的全球史观一方面有利于了解各方在一个历史事件中的客观影响,不像明朝那些事一样局限在中国大地上 但另一方面他塑造的全球...
