The Gunpowder Age 在线电子书用户评价

评分☆☆☆☆☆

很受military revolution史观影响。论点直接，认为中国历史上战争频繁的时期促进火药武器发展，反之则阻碍。对比欧洲火药武器发展史，考察发展路线不同（欧洲的火炮和菱堡）以及中西交流和接触冲突。认为盛清和平（乾隆后期到19世纪初）所致的军事落后造成鸦片战争落败。

或许初始期望太高，读完发现提出问题和试探多于解释，更适合做教科书。军事大分流的说法很有趣，相对平行的军事技术和作战模式比较，尤其是几次欧洲与亚洲势力交锋也颇有趣，分流在18世纪中叶（所谓盛清和平期）也恰与彭慕兰说法对证。不过两个主要论点——无多国/多政体体系则无战争、无战争则无威胁、无威胁则无进步（一系列战争与国家形成文献），盛清一统安靖导致军事革新需求消失；科学/技术与科技群体的独立发展对军事革新的促进作用（李约瑟等？）——似已经被反复论述过，并无什么出色之处。欧洲船只更先进更抗风浪、欧洲中世纪堡垒城墙较薄但允许火药武器开火还击，确乎为重要优势，且也在无形中促进火药武器发展和军队远征与后勤编组进步，然欧陆多国战争恰使其非铁板一块，前者仅为少数海权国拥有、后者则并未在远征中体现。

从军事史角度分析中西大分流，这类学术书籍竟然意外的好读，虽说作者的论点有待商榷，但论据确实让我涨了不少知识

The Gunpowder Age 在线电子书图书描述

The Chinese invented gunpowder and began exploring its military uses as early as the 900s, four centuries before the technology passed to the West. But by the early 1800s, China had fallen so far behind the West in gunpowder warfare that it was easily defeated by Britain in the Opium War of 1839–42. What happened? In The Gunpowder Age, Tonio Andrade offers a compelling new answer, opening a fresh perspective on a key question of world history: why did the countries of western Europe surge to global importance starting in the 1500s while China slipped behind?

Historians have long argued that gunpowder weapons helped Europeans establish global hegemony. Yet the inhabitants of what is today China not only invented guns and bombs but also, as Andrade shows, continued to innovate in gunpowder technology through the early 1700s—much longer than previously thought. Why, then, did China become so vulnerable? Andrade argues that one significant reason is that it was out of practice fighting wars, having enjoyed nearly a century of relative peace, since 1760. Indeed, he demonstrates that China—like Europe—was a powerful military innovator, particularly during times of great warfare, such as the violent century starting after the Opium War, when the Chinese once again quickly modernized their forces. Today, China is simply returning to its old position as one of the world’s great military powers.

By showing that China’s military dynamism was deeper, longer lasting, and more quickly recovered than previously understood, The Gunpowder Age challenges long-standing explanations of the so-called Great Divergence between the West and Asia.
