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.

我只从“对于普通中国人来说这书有什么看点”来说一下。 作者在前言就已经说明了：写作本书的最初目的是要纠正欧美知识分子关于“太平天国叛乱能够平定主要是因为西方干涉”的观念。对大多数中国读者来说，这第一句就把他们吓到了。我操，平定太平天国不是文正公搞的吗？顶多...

評分与太平天国相关的书，堪称汗牛充栋，多一本少一本，似乎已不再重要，在这个熟题材上想写出新意来，几乎不可能。 但，裴士锋告诉我们，其实还有完全不同的新视角，那就是从国际政治来看太平天国：太平天国与美国南北战争有什么关系？洪仁玕为什么要写不大可能执行的《资政新篇...
用戶評價
"'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？？
评分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。
