A gripping account of China’s nineteenth-century Taiping Rebellion, one of the largest civil wars in history. Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom brims with unforgettable characters and vivid re-creations of massive and often gruesome battles—a sweeping yet intimate portrait of the conflict that shaped the fate of modern China.
The story begins in the early 1850s, the waning years of the Qing dynasty, when word spread of a major revolution brewing in the provinces, led by a failed civil servant who claimed to be the son of God and brother of Jesus. The Taiping rebels drew their power from the poor and the disenfranchised, unleashing the ethnic rage of millions of Chinese against their Manchu rulers. This homegrown movement seemed all but unstoppable until Britain and the United States stepped in and threw their support behind the Manchus: after years of massive carnage, all opposition to Qing rule was effectively snuffed out for generations. Stephen R. Platt recounts these events in spellbinding detail, building his story on two fascinating characters with opposing visions for China’s future: the conservative Confucian scholar Zeng Guofan, an accidental general who emerged as the most influential military strategist in China’s modern history; and Hong Rengan, a brilliant Taiping leader whose grand vision of building a modern, industrial, and pro-Western Chinese state ended in tragic failure.
This is an essential and enthralling history of the rise and fall of the movement that, a century and a half ago, might have launched China on an entirely different path into the modern world.

1863年9月，受朋友引荐，容闳在湘军大营里见到了两江总督曾国藩。这位美国海归阅历丰富：耶鲁毕业后，他先在美国公使馆和上海海关工作，后来自己开航运公司，在战区倒卖过茶叶。三年前，容闳曾考虑过为太平军效力，在南京与洪仁轩的会面中，他态度高傲，坚持对方要满足自己的各...
評分天国之秋 冬日读它 中国人的太平天国史观，大多来自于马克思，一则是众所周知的原因；二则是由于太平天国发生时，马克思担任《纽约每日论坛报》伦敦通讯记者，正埋头清理他对资本主义的看法，马克思自然会把远在万里之外的中国中国内战和全球经济以及资本主义的发展联系起来。 ...
評分一百五十页的尾注的确是一个槽点，但也说明了作者的严谨。另外尾注也确实降低了对读者的干扰。整部书在较完整的时间顺序下摆出很多国人所不知的细节，例如英军烧毁圆明园也不是毫无缘故，而英国议会也是有相当一部分人是反对干预 的，另外英国政府对于清廷的支持也改写了传统教...
評分在天国之秋这个角度，讨厌曾国藩，因为最近总有人拿他标榜自己，好像读了两本曾国藩家书就成了正确了，现在人说信儒家有点可笑，其实连理学都没搞清楚。读到围安庆时，屠夫的性格也暴露出来了，告诉他弟不能有慈悲之中，一定要多杀俘虏，一定要屠城。 曾国藩是不是汉奸？腐烂的...

好扯啊......
评分and when we congratulate ourselves on seeing through the darkened window that separates us from another civilization, heartened to discover the familiar forms that lie hidden among the shadows on the other side, sometimes we do without ever realizing that we are only gazing at our own reflection.
评分洋人的一廂情願。
评分12/03/2015 裴士鋒最好展現瞭一流外交傢和不明所以的學者在判斷形勢與洞察人心上的巨大差距。Frederick Bruce決定防守上海以及對太平軍的判斷顯然是正確的；大英在北方教訓僧格林沁和在南方保境安民並不矛盾，裴對這兩者都缺乏理解力。我在這本書裏看到瞭天真的外國傳教士、作為門麵的“體製內開明力量”、以及極其高超的統戰技巧與宣傳。這類戲碼還會在100年後不斷上演，所不同者在於美國人代替瞭老謀深算的大英帝國的位置，被洪天王的精神子嗣們玩弄於股掌之間。
评分略翻一過。似乎並沒太大意思。
