In "The Sleepwalkers" acclaimed historian and author of Iron Kingdom, Christopher Clark, examines the causes of the First World War. Sunday Times Books of the Year 2012. The moments that it took Gavrilo Princip to step forward to the stalled car and shoot dead Franz Ferdinand and his wife were perhaps the most fateful of the modern era. An act of terrorism of staggering efficiency, it fulfilled its every aim: it would liberate Bosnia from Habsburg rule and it created a powerful new Serbia, but it also brought down four great empires, killed millions of men and destroyed a civilization. What made a seemingly prosperous and complacent Europe so vulnerable to the impact of this assassination? In "The Sleepwalkers" Christopher Clark retells the story of the outbreak of the First World War and its causes. Drawing on many fresh new sources, this account reveals a Europe very different from the familiar picture, putting Serbia and the Balkans at the centre of the story. Starting with the brutal assassination of Alexander I of Serbia in 1903, Clark shows how, far from being the place of enviable stability it appears to us, Europe was racked by chronic problems: a multipolar, fractured, multicultural world of clashing ideals, terrorism, militancy and instability, which was, fatefully, saddled with a conspicuously ineffectual set of political leaders. He shows how the rulers of Europe, who prided themselves on their modernity and rationalism, behaved like sleepwalkers, stumbling through crisis after crisis and finally convincing themselves that war was the only answer. Reviews: "Formidable ...one of the most impressive and stimulating studies of the period ever published". (Max Hastings, "Sunday Times"). "The arguments [Clark] sets out in this quite superb account of the causes of the First World War are so compelling that they effectively consign the old historical consensus to the bin ...a masterpiece. It's not often that one has the privilege of reading a book that reforges our understanding of one of the seminal events of world history". ("Mail Online"). "Impeccably researched, provocatively argued and elegantly written, his book is a model of scholarship". ("Sunday Times", Books of the Year 2012). "A brilliant contribution". ("Times Higher Education"). "Clark is fully alive to the challenges of the subject. Planting himself at the contingent end of the spectrum, he prefers to establish how the war happened rather than to explain why by means of hindsight ...It is a refreshing approach. He provides vivid portraits of leading figures ...[He] also gives a rich sense of what contemporaries believed was at stake in the crises leading up to the war". ("Irish Times"). About the author: Christopher Clark is Professor of Modern History at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of St Catharine's College. He is the author of "The Politics of Conversion", "Kaiser Wilhelm II" and "Iron Kingdom". Widely praised around the world, "Iron Kingdom" became a major bestseller. He has been awarded the Officer's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany.

吐血力荐。看过一些关于一战的书,只有这本书解答了我大部分的困惑。正如作者所言,较之三十年前,这个已经消失的世界的态度,偏见,执念反而变得更加熟悉。这时,本来看似无用的线索再一次回到人类的梦中。
评分一战啊,人类创造了怎样的怪物。
评分作者反对寻根清原式地消极合理化历史,主张穷尽史实细节来多角度还原事件全貌,没有意识导向,搁置既成后果。这的确有助独立思考,发现新可能。一战的参战国,手上都沾着鲜血,不需自怨自艾,也别恶人先告状。如今恐怖主义霸占了这个剧场,根源,还是当年让塞尔维亚癫狂的民族主义激素。
评分最好看的是Part 3……觉得作者其实蛮同情奥匈帝国的,德国和英国也算是某种程度的躺枪。最烦人的还属泛斯拉夫主义,没错,说的就是塞尔维亚和老毛子!
评分读完了 #rcanlendar
一战百年,选读了《阿拉伯的劳伦斯》和这一本,同样是好评如潮的严肃历史作品,前者的可读性显然更强。而到昨晚合上这一本的时候,除了比以往多知道几个名字以外,我对一战如何爆发仍旧不甚了了。 或许这恰恰是作者想要提供给读者的一种状态,若干史实仅仅作为证明各个帝国...
评分丘吉尔说过,一战最神秘的就是开头,到底怎么爆发的。传统的观点是,德国蓄意发动了一战。可后来的历史学家大多倾向于认为德国确实最轻率鲁莽,但谈不上有事先的周密计划。 Christopher Clark在 The Sleepwalkers这本书中认为,“一战的爆发是一场悲剧,但不是一桩罪行。”德国...

评分去年一戰百年,中信就出了這本《夢遊者》,查了一下,原文版出了一段時間而且頗受好評,而且內容是筆者更感興趣的戰前外交關係跟各國政局的介紹,所以就買了下來,拖到最近繁體版出了才閱讀。 就歷史題材來說,一戰應該算是數一數二殺死最多紙張油墨的,中文也出了不少,各式...
评分1871年,雄图大略的俾斯麦击败了拿破仑三世,攫取了莱茵河对岸的阿尔萨斯和洛林,留下了法国人的眼泪和我们中学课本中震撼人心的《最后一课》,也播下了德法两国世仇的种子。 20多年后,俾斯麦苦心经营的针对法国的大陆联盟体系逐渐走向瓦解。总是在极度悲观与极度乐观之间游走...
