To this landmark biography of our first president, Joseph J. Ellis brings the exacting scholarship, shrewd analysis, and lyric prose that have made him one of the premier historians of the Revolutionary era. Training his lens on a figure who sometimes seems as remote as his effigy on Mount Rushmore, Ellis assesses George Washington as a military and political leader and a man whose “statue-like solidity” concealed volcanic energies and emotions.
Here is the impetuous young officer whose miraculous survival in combat half-convinced him that he could not be killed. Here is the free-spending landowner whose debts to English merchants instilled him with a prickly resentment of imperial power. We see the general who lost more battles than he won and the reluctant president who tried to float above the partisan feuding of his cabinet. His Excellency is a magnificent work, indispensable to an understanding not only of its subject but also of the nation he brought into being.
年前的美国大选,看特朗普和希拉里的针锋相对,着实让人捏了一把冷汗,尽管最后以希拉里的败北而告终,但我们不禁好奇美国的大选制度是如何诞生的,这就要追溯到美国刚建立时,也就不得不提到美国的缔造者乔治·华盛顿。此前,我对华盛顿的了解一直停留在中学历史课本里,他领...
评分如果要评选千年来最伟大的人,我应该会投票给华盛顿,就因为那史上最伟大的退场,1783年的安纳波利斯。 对于历史人物,随着他们的逐渐远去,我们越来越难去真切的了解他们的行为和内心,尤其是对华盛顿这种活着时就已被当作尘世圣徒的人。围绕他的生平,历史上各路传记作者极尽...
评分华盛顿让人佩服的一点是,不贪恋权利,既不想做国王,又不想当独裁者,于是他开创了主动让权的先例,一个至今美国任然奉行的先例,同时也铸就了华盛顿的神话。当然,比起军事打战,他比不上老毛,当时在治国这方面,他比老毛要强点,这或许就是人无完人。“一代天骄,成吉思汗...
评分 评分这本书的原作者显然是剥去了华盛顿一层又一层的光环,客观的写下了书中的文字。虽然翻译过来后,看起来略显平涩,但是还是有相当多的内容的。 书中最让我惊讶的是,美国独立战争期间的大部分时候,华盛顿麾下的大陆军都不过两万人。华盛顿在这场战争之初,根本没有想到会创...
