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。

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...
評分历史的暧昧角落 许知远 一 大约十一年前,在香港的一家书店,我随手捡起一本《传教士与浪荡子》(The Missionary and the Libertine),它归属于“亚洲兴趣”(Asian Interest)一栏。 彼时的香港,殖民地的气息正在散去,但仍能轻易感受得到。在湾仔的六国酒店、在银行家...
評分巨大的震撼。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年是二战结束的日子,中国人民战胜日本的年份,也同样是开启现代世界的诞生的时刻。布鲁玛这本书描写的不什么特别可爱的社会,都是些二战结束后各个国家人民对战败国还是战胜国那些肮脏、苟且、毫无人性的事件。记忆深刻的一件事情是一个犹太人在面临曾经的敌人的时候还能...
