A marvelous global history of the pivotal year 1945 as a new world emerged from the ruins of World War II
Year Zero is a landmark reckoning with the great drama that ensued after war came to an end in 1945. One world had ended and a new, uncertain one was beginning. Regime change had come on a global scale: across Asia (including China, Korea, Indochina, and the Philippines, and of course Japan) and all of continental Europe. Out of the often vicious power struggles that ensued emerged the modern world as we know it.
In human terms, the scale of transformation is almost impossible to imagine. Great cities around the world lay in ruins, their populations decimated, displaced, starving. Harsh revenge was meted out on a wide scale, and the ground was laid for much horror to come. At the same time, in the wake of unspeakable loss, the euphoria of the liberated was extraordinary, and the revelry unprecedented. The postwar years gave rise to the European welfare state, the United Nations, decolonization, Japanese pacifism, and the European Union. Social, cultural, and political “reeducation” was imposed on vanquished by victors on a scale that also had no historical precedent. Much that was done was ill advised, but in hindsight, as Ian Buruma shows us, these efforts were in fact relatively enlightened, humane, and effective.
A poignant grace note throughout this history is Buruma’s own father’s story. Seized by the Nazis during the occupation of Holland, he spent much of the war in Berlin as a laborer, and by war’s end was literally hiding in the rubble of a flattened city, having barely managed to survive starvation rations, Allied bombing, and Soviet shock troops when the end came. His journey home and attempted reentry into “normalcy” stand in many ways for his generation’s experience.
A work of enormous range and stirring human drama, conjuring both the Asian and European theaters with equal fluency, Year Zero is a book that Ian Buruma is perhaps uniquely positioned to write. It is surely his masterpiece
Ian Buruma is the Luce Professor of Democracy, Human Rights, and Journalism at Bard College. His previous books include The China Lover, Murder in Amsterdam, Occidentalism, God's Dust, Behind the Mask, The Wages of Guilt, Bad Elements, and Taming the Gods.

評分曆史有這種 narrative 纔完整。
評分It's inevitable that Buruma also makes some wrong interpretations of the past here.
評分Total destruction means total reconstruction - hopeful, inspiring yet sad in a way, What I miss is the technology change in year zero.
評分對布魯瑪來說,1945年代錶著父輩的世界,理解1945年,不僅是齣於對於上一代人的天然興趣,也是對此刻的迴應。1945年是一個英雄主義、充滿勝利感的年份,這年,世界各地都在上演政權更迭,之後的權力鬥爭更是相當殘酷,在這一過程中,誕生瞭我們所熟知的現代世界。
巨大的震撼。一边观看着红场阅兵的直播,脑中却浮现起苏联士兵强奸德国妇女的情节,我几乎三观尽毁。在一个失序的社会中,人性里的各种成分都可能被激发,即使是站在正义旗帜下的一方,其行为也会与非正义方一样恶劣。 近年来,国内一些鹰派政治家、军事家备受推崇,每当有国际...
評分1945年为什么是零年?那是二次世界大战结束的一年;是现代世界诞生的一年.所以1945年是零年。这本书断断续续读了将近一年,真的非常棒。从内容、视角、到行文、翻译,都很到位。首先是内容。你看不见硝烟弥漫的血腥战斗,但从书中人的经历和口述中可以去体会;你看不见人心如何...
評分时机尚未成熟,成为他们的命运,缘分将他们推近、驱离,阻挡他们的去路,忍住笑声,然后闪到一旁。 ——辛波斯卡《一见钟情》 历史长河里只有很少的几个瞬间能被称为改变世界的时刻——1492年10...
評分伊恩·布鲁玛(Ian Buruma)的《零年:1945》的中译本来得正是时候。今天评价国际冲突时倾向于诉诸武力的年轻人,通常不明白战争为何物。布鲁玛选择了1945年这个战争结束的欢腾年份,通过亲历者的眼睛和回忆,带我们回到战争的年代,体验当时的人心百味。庆祝胜利的大氛围中,...
