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.
“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...
评分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...
评分这个世界从来都不是非黑即白的简单视界。然而人类总是健忘。在某一历史事件发生之后,往往从最初的关注转向麻木,从而忘记去探寻这一切的起因、根源与始末。人们习惯于将“911”作为划分一系列事件的节点。一边厢,极端宗教分子和狭隘的民族主义者抱持着消灭“异族”的偏见发起...
评分在血腥味和尸臭中沤肥的思想,写出的句子没有废话,只有微微的凉意和咬着牙关的狠劲。有点儿《战争之王》台词的意思。在Dexter Filkins的故事中,你能同时嗅出两种味道,他完全明白自己所讲故事的精彩程度,但并不乐见它们如此精彩。像一个久经欢场的妓女一边津津乐道她神乎其...
评分自從歐美文明“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...
