The diplomatic origins, so-called, of the War are only the fever chart of the patient; they do not tell us what caused the fever. To probe for underlying causes and deeper forces one must operate within the framework of a whole society and try to discover what moved the people in it.

--Barbara W. Tuchman

The fateful quarter-century leading up to the World War I was a time when the world of Privilege still existed in Olympian luxury and the world of Protest was heaving in its pain, its power, and its hate. The age was the climax of a century of the most accelerated rate of change in history, a cataclysmic shaping of destiny.

In The Proud Tower, Barbara Tuchman concentrates on society rather than the state. With an artist's selectivity, Tuchman bings to vivid life the people, places, and events that shaped the years leading up to the Great War: the Edwardian aristocracy and the end of their reign; the Anarchists of Europe and America, who voiced the protest of the oppressed; Germany, as portrayed through the figure of the self-depicted Hero, Richard Strauss; the sudden gorgeous blaze of Diaghilev's Russian Ballet and Stravinsky's music; the Dreyfus Affair; the two Peace Conferences at the Hague; and, finally, the youth, ideals, enthusiasm, and tragedy of Socialism, epitomized in the moment when the heroic Jean Jaurès was shot to death on the night the War began and an epoch ended.

"Tuchman [was] a distinguished historian who [wrote] her books with a rare combination of impeccable scholarship and literary polish. . . . It would be impossible to read The Proud Tower without pleasure and admiration."

--The New York Times

"Tuchman proved in The Guns of August that she could write better military history than most men. In this sequel, she tells her story with cool wit and warm understanding, eschewing both the sweeping generalizations of a Toynbee and the minute-by-minute simplicisms of a Walter Lord."

--Time

本书是一战前欧美的历史潮流与社会画卷,展示了旧秩序如何让位于新思潮,以1700万人生命的代价。与此后的时代相比,居住于其中的人更自信,更优雅,更伟大,更舒适,更快活,更有希望,更有尊严地工作;也更不公,更虚伪,更贫困,更悲惨,更难以忍受平庸。 作者芭芭拉非常注重...

这是我看过的最文对题的书了。 看完之后整理的时候,仔细想一想这本书到底讲了什么,却发现副标题完全可以一言以蔽之,其实讲的就是“战前世界的肖像,1890-1914”。 肖像这个词用的特好,这书从头到尾,就是许多人的浮光掠影,他们来自不同的阶级,向往着不同的未来,用完全不...

就像给历史切了一个横截面,一个在我之前的阅读中很少涉及的截面。那时候的中国正值洋务后期,又历甲午之败,又经戊戌之痛,又经年,改朝换代,军阀混战。 那个时代的国外,或让人无心顾及,或只是只言片语。帝国主义的产生,社会主义的勃兴的背景实在过于潦草。很多而后事情似...
