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.

讀後感
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。 ...
評分生存的意义：一场权力的游戏 ——读《天国之秋》有感 天国，谁的天国？ 世界的天国，洋人眼中的天国。在十八世纪四十年代，中国的人口数量已经占据了世界的1/3，中国的GDP也占据了世界1/3，中国的丝绸和茶叶更是成为欧洲很多居民的心头爱，中国的神秘更是吸引着需求欧洲探险家...
評分很喜欢作者的叙事风格，宏大、人物命运相互交错，但结语一章写的真不怎么样。我并不认为作者在用美国的内战与中国的内战作比较，而是在说明，如果没有爆发美国南北战争，淮军可能不会降临上海，戈登可能不会帮李鸿章攻下苏州，英国如果能一直保持中立，那太平天国一方可能不会...

是寫給凡事大驚小怪的美國普通讀者的，不必期待過高。不過寫的還是不錯，尤其是第11章。
评分是寫給凡事大驚小怪的美國普通讀者的，不必期待過高。不過寫的還是不錯，尤其是第11章。
评分讀原版還是太吃力瞭，讀瞭15%換譯本瞭。
评分很精彩的曆史書。
评分本書比較通俗的介紹瞭太平天國從發展到衰亡的過程，作者作為一個外國漢學著，著重點在於太平天國叛亂期間西方勢力特彆是英國、法國、美國的影響，作者力圖說明以英國為首的西方勢力采取的是中立的政策，但是民間則有支持太平天國和清政府兩種立場，特彆是傳教士以及華爾、戈登的洋槍隊、常勝軍則是其中的典型代錶。
