The diplomatic origins, so-called, of the War are only the fever chart of the patient; they do not tell us what caused the fever. To probe for underlying causes and deeper forces one must operate within the framework of a whole society and try to discover what moved the people in it.

--Barbara W. Tuchman

The fateful quarter-century leading up to the World War I was a time when the world of Privilege still existed in Olympian luxury and the world of Protest was heaving in its pain, its power, and its hate. The age was the climax of a century of the most accelerated rate of change in history, a cataclysmic shaping of destiny.

In The Proud Tower, Barbara Tuchman concentrates on society rather than the state. With an artist's selectivity, Tuchman bings to vivid life the people, places, and events that shaped the years leading up to the Great War: the Edwardian aristocracy and the end of their reign; the Anarchists of Europe and America, who voiced the protest of the oppressed; Germany, as portrayed through the figure of the self-depicted Hero, Richard Strauss; the sudden gorgeous blaze of Diaghilev's Russian Ballet and Stravinsky's music; the Dreyfus Affair; the two Peace Conferences at the Hague; and, finally, the youth, ideals, enthusiasm, and tragedy of Socialism, epitomized in the moment when the heroic Jean Jaurès was shot to death on the night the War began and an epoch ended.

"Tuchman [was] a distinguished historian who [wrote] her books with a rare combination of impeccable scholarship and literary polish. . . . It would be impossible to read The Proud Tower without pleasure and admiration."

--The New York Times

"Tuchman proved in The Guns of August that she could write better military history than most men. In this sequel, she tells her story with cool wit and warm understanding, eschewing both the sweeping generalizations of a Toynbee and the minute-by-minute simplicisms of a Walter Lord."

--Time

20世纪真正的起始之年无疑是1914年。那年夏天,萨拉热窝的一声枪响引爆了一场世界大战,随后的四年间,7000万人在战场上厮杀,而驱使他们这么做的原因却谁也说不清楚。那是一场荒诞、不必要和非理性的战争,与之前长久以来对人类力量的自信、对理性和不断进步的信念背道而驰,...

巴巴菈‧W‧塔奇曼,應該不用太過介紹,幾年前,她的名著《八月砲火》譯成中文後,應該讓許多軍迷趨之若鶩,筆者也是其中一位。不過說來慚愧,筆者就只愛她對於戰前各國的描述,整本書反覆讀了兩三回,都在開戰後的篇章就停下來了。可能是前面的篇章真的寫的太棒了吧。 塔...

作者的知识体系很丰富,可能跟她的出身有关,但这本书确实不错,读起来很舒服,尤其是关于德雷福斯案件跟施特劳斯那两章,如何对历史进行基本史实的讲述与相对客观的价值观传递,她给出了一个参考方式。 索尔兹伯里勋爵士,里布尔斯代尔勋爵,克鲁泡特金,反叛杂志,托马斯b里...

文/吴情 众所周知,无论是在政治经济方面,抑或在思想文化领域,“一战”对西方世界的影响都很深远。然而,就“一战”的爆发,有人认为出乎意料,将其定义为一场原可以避免的灾难;也有人认为是历史发展的必然结果:资本主义列强步入帝国主义阶段,政治经济发展不平衡...
