From the front lines of the battle against Islamic fundamentalism, a searing, unforgettable book that captures the human essence of the greatest conflict of our time.

Through the eyes of Dexter Filkins, the prizewinning New York Times correspondent whose work was hailed by David Halberstam as “reporting of the highest quality imaginable,” we witness the remarkable chain of events that began with the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s, continued with the attacks of 9/11, and moved on to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Filkins’s narrative moves across a vast and various landscape of amazing characters and astonishing scenes: deserts, mountains, and streets of carnage; a public amputation performed by Taliban; children frolicking in minefields; skies streaked white by the contrails of B-52s; a night’s sleep in the rubble of Ground Zero.

We embark on a foot patrol through the shadowy streets of Ramadi, venture into a torture chamber run by Saddam Hussein. We go into the homes of suicide bombers and into street-to-street fighting with a battalion of marines. We meet Iraqi insurgents, an American captain who loses a quarter of his men in eight days, and a young soldier from Georgia on a rooftop at midnight reminiscing about his girlfriend back home. A car bomb explodes, bullets fly, and a mother cradles her blinded son.

Like no other book, The Forever War allows us a visceral understanding of today’s battlefields and of the experiences of the people on the ground, warriors and innocents alike. It is a brilliant, fearless work, not just about America’s wars after 9/11, but ultimately about the nature of war itself.

之前在热销榜上寻得此书,就像跑步之前的热身总是稍显无趣,书的开篇并没有吸引到我,反而由于纪实文学的特点,所有东西显得没有头绪。不过当我我关注新闻中isis出现时,让我对于中东这个神奇的地方产生了浓厚的兴趣。而恰巧我也逐渐来到了书中最吸引我的地方。作者毕竟是西方...

有些人把游戏玩成战争,有些人把战争当做游戏,夹杂着宗教,恐怖主义,平民,国际组织。人们最热切的希望是和平,最不愿看到那些20岁左右的青年在战争中死去,因为他们和我一样还有很多没有经历的想想就觉得美的事情没有去做呢。喜欢作者作为陈述者的态度,还有译者的用词生动。

“9·11”事件后,小布什政府以反恐的名义发动战争,其中伊拉克、阿富汗和巴基斯坦是最主要的战场。对于中国人来说,这几场战争未必有点遥远。当年反恐这个词似乎只关美国人的事儿。即便人们关注新闻,看到萨达姆雕像被推倒,或者层出不穷的自杀性炸弹,似乎也不会注意太多...

感觉就像一篇超长的《纽约时报》周刊的文章。说实话在读了这么多报道后,里面的内容已经有些过时,而且很难有任何出人意料的成分。而且,这种以个人经历为主的书籍很难像Emerald City一样让人一下子看清全景,更多是盲人摸象的感觉。但无论如何,此书依然写的还不错,另外也有些让人感动的地方。
