A gripping account of China’s nineteenth-century Taiping Rebellion, one of the largest civil wars in history. Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom brims with unforgettable characters and vivid re-creations of massive and often gruesome battles—a sweeping yet intimate portrait of the conflict that shaped the fate of modern China.
The story begins in the early 1850s, the waning years of the Qing dynasty, when word spread of a major revolution brewing in the provinces, led by a failed civil servant who claimed to be the son of God and brother of Jesus. The Taiping rebels drew their power from the poor and the disenfranchised, unleashing the ethnic rage of millions of Chinese against their Manchu rulers. This homegrown movement seemed all but unstoppable until Britain and the United States stepped in and threw their support behind the Manchus: after years of massive carnage, all opposition to Qing rule was effectively snuffed out for generations. Stephen R. Platt recounts these events in spellbinding detail, building his story on two fascinating characters with opposing visions for China’s future: the conservative Confucian scholar Zeng Guofan, an accidental general who emerged as the most influential military strategist in China’s modern history; and Hong Rengan, a brilliant Taiping leader whose grand vision of building a modern, industrial, and pro-Western Chinese state ended in tragic failure.
This is an essential and enthralling history of the rise and fall of the movement that, a century and a half ago, might have launched China on an entirely different path into the modern world.

徐瑾 唯有在对比之中，历史才充满了探索的可能性。 在清宫戏的流行中，大家惊讶于乾隆是华盛顿的同时代人，对于太平天国其实和美国南北战争几乎同时也感到陌生。的确，这场爆发于十九世纪中叶的运动，距离现在不过150年时间。 百年之后回首，伴随着众多新材料被挖掘，对太平天...
評分 評分（1）-历1-甲骨文系列1-《天国之秋》豆瓣8.2 咋说呢，这本书可以说开了我的一种全球史观，能把太平天国和美国内战联系到一起真的是很厉害了 可是他塑造的全球史观一方面有利于了解各方在一个历史事件中的客观影响，不像明朝那些事一样局限在中国大地上 但另一方面他塑造的全球...
評分很喜欢作者的叙事风格，宏大、人物命运相互交错，但结语一章写的真不怎么样。我并不认为作者在用美国的内战与中国的内战作比较，而是在说明，如果没有爆发美国南北战争，淮军可能不会降临上海，戈登可能不会帮李鸿章攻下苏州，英国如果能一直保持中立，那太平天国一方可能不会...
用戶評價
本書比較通俗的介紹瞭太平天國從發展到衰亡的過程，作者作為一個外國漢學著，著重點在於太平天國叛亂期間西方勢力特彆是英國、法國、美國的影響，作者力圖說明以英國為首的西方勢力采取的是中立的政策，但是民間則有支持太平天國和清政府兩種立場，特彆是傳教士以及華爾、戈登的洋槍隊、常勝軍則是其中的典型代錶。
评分12/03/2015 裴士鋒最好展現瞭一流外交傢和不明所以的學者在判斷形勢與洞察人心上的巨大差距。Frederick Bruce決定防守上海以及對太平軍的判斷顯然是正確的；大英在北方教訓僧格林沁和在南方保境安民並不矛盾，裴對這兩者都缺乏理解力。我在這本書裏看到瞭天真的外國傳教士、作為門麵的“體製內開明力量”、以及極其高超的統戰技巧與宣傳。這類戲碼還會在100年後不斷上演，所不同者在於美國人代替瞭老謀深算的大英帝國的位置，被洪天王的精神子嗣們玩弄於股掌之間。
评分"'Sooner or later,' Heng said,...'one has to take sides---if one is to remain human.'" (Graham Greene, The Quiet American) “各人自掃門前雪，休管他人瓦上霜。”作者是想說這個嗎？？
