National Bestseller One of the Best Books of the Year: New York Times , Washington Post , Los Angeles Times , USA Today , Boston Globe , and Time An instant classic of war reporting, The Forever War is the definitive account of America's conflict with Islamic fundamentalism and a searing exploration of its human costs. Through the eyes of Filkins, a foreign correspondent for the New York Times, we witness the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s, the aftermath of the attack on New York on September 11th, and the American wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Filkins is the only American journalist to have reported on all these events, and his experiences are conveyed in a riveting narrative filled with unforgettable characters and astonishing scenes. Brilliant and fearless, The Forever War is not just about America's wars after 9/11, but about the nature of war itself.

评分从一开始就注定了心情沉重,绝望,死心。只求安安静静地读完,离开,睡觉。 为什么一直是穆斯林?全世界其他宗教都好好的,为什么战争、恐怖活动总是牵扯着他们?记得大学时一次英语外教给我们列了几件事让我们选出认为最不应该的。候选的无一例外都controversial,如一个慈善...
评分在阅读中真正地体会到伊拉克和阿富汗战场中人民的难言伤痛,人性宗教利益权利各种因素掺杂其中。战争将人无论是身体还是心灵摧残殆尽,思想严重扭曲,有时杀人只不过为了一个随意的理由,暗杀和恐怖袭击处处可见,使得爆炸与死亡似乎已成为常态。 这才是真可怕的,一代代的人民...
