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.

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...
评分0p “一战”是一场悲剧,而非一桩罪行。战争的所有参与者,无论是领导人、外交官还是将军,在一触即发之际,都莽撞自负、懦弱多变。他们不是狂徒,也不是谋杀犯,而是一群懵懵懂懂,不知未来走向的“梦游者”。 0p 约翰·基根:短视和贪婪、自私加软弱、平庸与激情,所有要素...
评分去年一戰百年,中信就出了這本《夢遊者》,查了一下,原文版出了一段時間而且頗受好評,而且內容是筆者更感興趣的戰前外交關係跟各國政局的介紹,所以就買了下來,拖到最近繁體版出了才閱讀。 就歷史題材來說,一戰應該算是數一數二殺死最多紙張油墨的,中文也出了不少,各式...
评分好吧,作为草根我正在校对此书的电子版,不得不感谢中信出版社为我提供了这么一个“兴致盎然”的“大家来找茬”游戏。错译,错别字,两手两脚都用上了,还不够用!原书是极好的,有能力的同学还是阅读英文原版为佳,言简意赅,相当棒。可惜引进版煞风景了,出版社出书前必要的...
