圖書描述

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. Bestselling historian and two-time Pulitzer winner McCullough follows up John Adams by staying with America's founding, focusing on a year rather than an individual: a momentous 12 months in the fight for independence. How did a group of ragtag farmers defeat the world's greatest empire? As McCullough vividly shows, they did it with a great deal of suffering, determination, ingenuity—and, the author notes, luck.Although brief by McCullough's standards, this is a narrative tour de force, exhibiting all the hallmarks the author is known for: fascinating subject matter, expert research and detailed, graceful prose. Throughout, McCullough deftly captures both sides of the conflict. The British commander, Lord General Howe, perhaps not fully accepting that the rebellion could succeed, underestimated the Americans' ingenuity. In turn, the outclassed Americans used the cover of night, surprise and an abiding hunger for victory to astonishing effect. Henry Knox, for example, trekked 300 miles each way over harsh winter terrain to bring 120,000 pounds of artillery from Fort Ticonderoga to Boston, enabling the Americans, in a stealthy nighttime advance, to seize Dorchester Heights, thus winning the whole city.Luck, McCullough writes, also played into the American cause—a vicious winter storm, for example, stalled a British counterattack at Boston, and twice Washington staged improbable, daring escapes when the war could have been lost. Similarly, McCullough says, the cruel northeaster in which Washington's troops famously crossed the Delaware was both "a blessing and a curse." McCullough keenly renders the harshness of the elements, the rampant disease and the constant supply shortfalls, from gunpowder to food, that affected morale on both sides—and it certainly didn't help the British that it took six weeks to relay news to and from London. Simply put, this is history writing at its best from one of its top practitioners.

著者簡介

With his riveting, enlightening accounts of subjects from Johnstown Flood to John Adams, David McCullough has become the historian that Americans look to most to tell us our own story. In his Amazon.com interview, McCullough explains why he turned in his new book from the political battles of the Revolution to the battles on the ground, and he marvels at some of his favorite young citizen soldiers who fought alongside the remarkable General Washington.

文筆優美清晰,細節詳實,人物栩栩如生,通俗曆史寫到這個份上,連聽書都能覺得好,真是到瞭一定的境界。下次再看Truman或者Panama Canal!

聽從作者的建議,read more history.曆史一嚮是我的弱項,等我讀更多以後再迴來反芻這本。能把曆史講的這麼細卻一點不囉嗦。有一些細節印象很深。

这不是一部历史教材。如果一定要分类,勉强可以算国内的所谓“纪实文学”。但是其历史性、文学性和思想性都到达了一个相当的高度。我把它叫做“一年史”,是因为从题材上讲,它跟黄仁宇的《万历十五年》都是取历史长河中有特点的一年,加以详述。 第一,历史性:David McCullo...

It is an amazing book by David McCullough who has won his Pulitzer Prize by the book of "John Adams". As an historian, McCullough concentrated on not only the astronomical (at least to me) collection of facts and evidence but also the organization of them...
