As the Imperial Japanese Army swept across China and South Asia at World War II's outset, closing all of China's seaports, more than 200,000 Chinese laborers embarked on a seemingly impossible task: to cut a 700-mile overland route -- the Burma Road -- from the southwest Chinese city of Kunming to Lashio, Burma. But when Burma fell in 1942, the Burma Road was severed. As the first step of the Allied offensive toward Japan, American general Joseph Stilwell reopened it, while, at the same time, keeping China supplied by air-lift from India and simultaneously driving the Japanese out of Burma. From the breathtaking adventures of the American "Hump" pilots who flew hair-raising missions over the Himalayas to make food-drops in China to the true story of the mission that inspired the famous film The Bridge on the River Kwai , to the grueling jungle operations of Merrill's Marauders and the British Chindit Brigades, The Burma Road vividly re-creates the sprawling, sometimes hilarious, often harrowing, and still largely unknown stories of one of the greatest chapters of World War II.

象一枚安放在当年的镜头,降临人间。 这镜头,在热带树林里看到暴雨满天,在深入伤口看见半截吸血虫,又冲到太空见证地球风云流向,接着直接坠落到某时某刻某个人失意落魄丧魂的心… 被完整拆解的宏大,一气呵成,仿佛一场没有剪辑充满细节和戏剧的电影。战争造就了这一切,...
評分看到《滇缅公路》这本书,我不假思索地买了下来。理由有三。《滇缅公路》讲的二战的故事。二战像一列火车,在六十多年前就到站了,但它始终未曾从送行的视线里消失。二战有太多的题材,吸引着太多的眼球。书名里的公路两字,对我有致命的诱惑。走多远,公路也有尽头,可梦想好...
評分抛开本书所讲的历史不谈,整本书的字里行间都给人一种作者的骄傲感,他认为美国人在这一故事中扮演救世主并为此而骄傲。我不反美,但很不耐烦作者的hollywood式的叙事语气,再加上他的恢宏的跳跃性的笔法,俺看了大半就撑不下去了,所以只能很遗憾地放弃受教。
