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.

这本书由曾获普利策奖的战地记者Dexter Filkins所著,原书名为《Forever war:dispathes from the war on terror》,翻译过来就是《无尽之战:来自反恐战争的战地报道》。译者的翻译,缘于本书作者在战地生活的9年里,不论多绝望的环境中仍然坚持跑步。跑步总是释放出乐观和积极...

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。

看这本美国战地记者关于阿富汗和伊拉克战争的非虚构作品前,我很努力的想要去了解关于中东的一些常识性知识。这种努力的最终结果是,去年购买的一本《塔利班:宗教极端主义在阿富汗及其周边地区》依然平静的躺在我的书架上,这本稍微有些大部头的著作我想短期内我应该不会翻阅...

在一个被混乱,黑暗,欺骗,绝望,却仍然窜动希望火苗的世界里,人们早已丧失辨别真假的能力。张开怀抱却可能万箭穿心,冷眼相待也并非怀恨在心。人们早已忘记了如何去相信,只能形如骷髅,在死亡的“圆圈”之间游离。 如果“独裁”只是为自由世界里画上了一个禁足圈,在这个圈...

自從歐美文明“反超崛起”,用自身的價值定義了“現代性”,然後包裝在文明之中,以船堅炮利向其他各地傳送後,除此之外的各地傳統文化無不受到衝擊,或接受,融合,或堅持抵抗,總都是要面對。位於“中東”(這個詞本身就具爭議)的伊斯蘭過去跟歐洲相隔最近,兩者之間的糾葛最...

感覺就像一篇超長的《紐約時報》周刊的文章。說實話在讀瞭這麼多報道後,裏麵的內容已經有些過時,而且很難有任何齣人意料的成分。而且,這種以個人經曆為主的書籍很難像Emerald City一樣讓人一下子看清全景,更多是盲人摸象的感覺。但無論如何,此書依然寫的還不錯,另外也有些讓人感動的地方。
