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.
值得看的一種full history或者deep history。這本書留下一個有趣的問題,為什麼改變全人類的宏大時間,之前卻被支離破碎地各自錶述呢?
評分It's inevitable that Buruma also makes some wrong interpretations of the past here.
評分提供瞭戰後世界的全景式圖像,幫助我們擺脫各國努力建立的、過分簡化的英雄主義grandiloquence;歡迎觀賞45年的大型分蛋糕遊戲(。
評分一邊看,一邊聽Gildart Jackson的有聲書,用瞭一周多的時間。全英文,理解起來難度不大。Ian Buruma具有世界眼光,作為一個小國的荷蘭學者能做到這一點頗為不易。令人想起高羅佩。
評分14hrs28mins “...even though many of these would turn to ash, as everything eventually does.”
写这段话的时候,本人刚刚看了28页。 我觉得《零年》这本书,填补了一个国内的视角空白。尤其是关注1949年新旧秩序交替岁月的那段历史,因为意识形态的原因,中国大陆封闭、保守的政策,导致我们的视角在很长时间内与政府的表述角度高度统一,无论是主动还是被迫,还是无意识...
評分我想穿插着看,这样不容易出现单一类比的阅读疲劳 我: 比如,看完布达佩斯的个人回忆,再去看1945年二战胜利的整体性全景历史叙述,这样可能有助于自己对于个人回忆录的理解。 微观和宏观,需要交替阅读,这样比较好。比如图图大主教的《没有宽恕就没有未来》就是在哲学层面...

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,...
