In "The Sleepwalkers" acclaimed historian and author of Iron Kingdom, Christopher Clark, examines the causes of the First World War. Sunday Times Books of the Year 2012. The moments that it took Gavrilo Princip to step forward to the stalled car and shoot dead Franz Ferdinand and his wife were perhaps the most fateful of the modern era. An act of terrorism of staggering efficiency, it fulfilled its every aim: it would liberate Bosnia from Habsburg rule and it created a powerful new Serbia, but it also brought down four great empires, killed millions of men and destroyed a civilization. What made a seemingly prosperous and complacent Europe so vulnerable to the impact of this assassination? In "The Sleepwalkers" Christopher Clark retells the story of the outbreak of the First World War and its causes. Drawing on many fresh new sources, this account reveals a Europe very different from the familiar picture, putting Serbia and the Balkans at the centre of the story. Starting with the brutal assassination of Alexander I of Serbia in 1903, Clark shows how, far from being the place of enviable stability it appears to us, Europe was racked by chronic problems: a multipolar, fractured, multicultural world of clashing ideals, terrorism, militancy and instability, which was, fatefully, saddled with a conspicuously ineffectual set of political leaders. He shows how the rulers of Europe, who prided themselves on their modernity and rationalism, behaved like sleepwalkers, stumbling through crisis after crisis and finally convincing themselves that war was the only answer. Reviews: "Formidable ...one of the most impressive and stimulating studies of the period ever published". (Max Hastings, "Sunday Times"). "The arguments [Clark] sets out in this quite superb account of the causes of the First World War are so compelling that they effectively consign the old historical consensus to the bin ...a masterpiece. It's not often that one has the privilege of reading a book that reforges our understanding of one of the seminal events of world history". ("Mail Online"). "Impeccably researched, provocatively argued and elegantly written, his book is a model of scholarship". ("Sunday Times", Books of the Year 2012). "A brilliant contribution". ("Times Higher Education"). "Clark is fully alive to the challenges of the subject. Planting himself at the contingent end of the spectrum, he prefers to establish how the war happened rather than to explain why by means of hindsight ...It is a refreshing approach. He provides vivid portraits of leading figures ...[He] also gives a rich sense of what contemporaries believed was at stake in the crises leading up to the war". ("Irish Times"). About the author: Christopher Clark is Professor of Modern History at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of St Catharine's College. He is the author of "The Politics of Conversion", "Kaiser Wilhelm II" and "Iron Kingdom". Widely praised around the world, "Iron Kingdom" became a major bestseller.

一戰前的外交風雲,大塞爾維亞真惹不起,德皇有點像Trump,但後者在關鍵時刻為瞭麵子肯定不會chicken out,全篇最尷尬是德國因為Grey的假情報空歡喜,意大利的存在度基本為零
評分作者反對尋根清原式地消極閤理化曆史,主張窮盡史實細節來多角度還原事件全貌,沒有意識導嚮,擱置既成後果。這的確有助獨立思考,發現新可能。一戰的參戰國,手上都沾著鮮血,不需自怨自艾,也彆惡人先告狀。如今恐怖主義霸占瞭這個劇場,根源,還是當年讓塞爾維亞癲狂的民族主義激素。

評分D. Stevenson 強推。 是進來對一戰起源的討論中最傑齣的一本。作者認為塞爾維亞是個rogue state,迫使奧匈帝國齣手。而從七月危機到戰爭爆發,各國的決策者都采取瞭危險的行動,有意(奧匈、俄國)使危機升級,而德國領導人並不認為事態嚴重,但其行動從一開始就縱容瞭危險行為,加上領導層的混亂,不同設想(見好就收-局部戰爭)並沒有綜閤成為集體的政策。遇到一個指嚮歐洲的軍事計劃,然後就嗬嗬瞭。
非常严肃且专业的书。 所以,打算看一章归纳一次。(严肃脸严肃脸) 首先,是护封内页,吊炸天,瞬间以为是中土地图有木有。 http://www.douban.com/photos/photo/2206562580/large 推荐序: 塞尔维亚(凤凰男):我出身贫苦我家人口多,我好不容易出息了,当上了村长承包了全村...
評分一战百年,选读了《阿拉伯的劳伦斯》和这一本,同样是好评如潮的严肃历史作品,前者的可读性显然更强。而到昨晚合上这一本的时候,除了比以往多知道几个名字以外,我对一战如何爆发仍旧不甚了了。 或许这恰恰是作者想要提供给读者的一种状态,若干史实仅仅作为证明各个帝国...
