图书描述

An illuminating study of the American struggle to comprehend the meaning and practicalities of death in the face of the unprecedented carnage of the Civil War.

During the war, approximately 620,000 soldiers lost their lives. An equivalent proportion of today’s population would be six million. This Republic of Suffering explores the impact of this enormous death toll from every angle: material, political, intellectual, and spiritual. The eminent historian Drew Gilpin Faust delineates the ways death changed not only individual lives but the life of the nation and its understanding of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. She describes how survivors mourned and how a deeply religious culture struggled to reconcile the slaughter with its belief in a benevolent God, pondered who should die and under what circumstances, and reconceived its understanding of life after death.

Faust details the logistical challenges involved when thousands were left dead, many with their identities unknown, on the fields of places like Bull Run, Shiloh, Antietam, and Gettysburg. She chronicles the efforts to identify, reclaim, preserve, and bury battlefield dead, the resulting rise of undertaking as a profession, the first widespread use of embalming, the gradual emergence of military graves registration procedures, the development of a federal system of national cemeteries for Union dead, and the creation of private cemeteries in the South that contributed to the cult of the Lost Cause. She shows, too, how the war victimized civilians through violence that extended beyond battlefields—from disease, displacement, hardships, shortages, emotional wounds, and conflicts connected to the disintegration of slavery.

Throughout, the voices of soldiers and their families, of statesmen, generals, preachers, poets, surgeons, and nurses, of northerners and southerners, slaveholders and freedpeople, of the most exalted and the most humble are brought together to give us a vivid understanding of the Civil War’s most fundamental and widely shared reality.

Were he alive today, This Republic of Suffering would compel Walt Whitman to abandon his certainty that the “real war will never get in the books.”

读后感

读这本书,不得不数度中止。缓一缓,深呼吸。再读。 从死亡的角度来记录美国内战的故事,比直接记录战争的血腥更可怕。因为,死亡,是血腥的直接证据。 一共打了几场战?用了哪些战术?胜负如何?最终,都在一个个鲜活生命的流逝上凝结。 四年。75万人死亡。这个数字怎么看都怵...

乏味,看了之后没有留下任何印象。考虑到作者是哈佛大学校长德鲁·吉尔平·福斯特,可以说本书是有失水准。据说本书金句连连,使之升华。这本书有任何金句吗?反正我不记得。要说金句,我也可以来一个:“美国内战阵亡六十万人,但总有些人忘记其中三十万是为解放人类牺牲的,...

既有能力也有意愿干涉美国内战的列强实际上只有两家:英国和法国。两国的纺织业都需要从南部进口棉花原材料,这也是它们有意愿干涉内战的原因之一。然而,仅仅这一点是不够说动英法的政府,让他们冒险采取行动的。因此,英国选择了作壁上观,而法国的情况要更复杂一些:法国皇...
