From the front lines of the battle against Islamic fundamentalism, a searing, unforgettable book that captures the human essence of the greatest conflict of our time.
Through the eyes of Dexter Filkins, the prizewinning New York Times correspondent whose work was hailed by David Halberstam as “reporting of the highest quality imaginable,” we witness the remarkable chain of events that began with the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s, continued with the attacks of 9/11, and moved on to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Filkins’s narrative moves across a vast and various landscape of amazing characters and astonishing scenes: deserts, mountains, and streets of carnage; a public amputation performed by Taliban; children frolicking in minefields; skies streaked white by the contrails of B-52s; a night’s sleep in the rubble of Ground Zero.
We embark on a foot patrol through the shadowy streets of Ramadi, venture into a torture chamber run by Saddam Hussein. We go into the homes of suicide bombers and into street-to-street fighting with a battalion of marines. We meet Iraqi insurgents, an American captain who loses a quarter of his men in eight days, and a young soldier from Georgia on a rooftop at midnight reminiscing about his girlfriend back home. A car bomb explodes, bullets fly, and a mother cradles her blinded son.
Like no other book, The Forever War allows us a visceral understanding of today’s battlefields and of the experiences of the people on the ground, warriors and innocents alike. It is a brilliant, fearless work, not just about America’s wars after 9/11, but ultimately about the nature of war itself.

挺好看
評分挺好看
評分因為英語水平有限,全文有大量的環境描寫,讀起來十分的不順暢。看的相當痛苦。視角個人感覺很有代入感。
評分Only the dead have seen the end of the war.

有些人把游戏玩成战争,有些人把战争当做游戏,夹杂着宗教,恐怖主义,平民,国际组织。人们最热切的希望是和平,最不愿看到那些20岁左右的青年在战争中死去,因为他们和我一样还有很多没有经历的想想就觉得美的事情没有去做呢。喜欢作者作为陈述者的态度,还有译者的用词生动。
評分当我轻轻合上书页时,目光平移到书桌上方的世界地图,视野不禁久久的聚焦于地中海东部的中东地区,阿富汗、伊拉克、伊朗、叙利亚、约旦、科威特、沙特、埃及、以色列、巴勒斯坦……似乎也亲临在战火纷飞的城市,呼吸着刺鼻的硝烟,侧听着呼啸的炮弹和连绵不绝的机关枪,仿佛看...
評分从一开始就注定了心情沉重,绝望,死心。只求安安静静地读完,离开,睡觉。 为什么一直是穆斯林?全世界其他宗教都好好的,为什么战争、恐怖活动总是牵扯着他们?记得大学时一次英语外教给我们列了几件事让我们选出认为最不应该的。候选的无一例外都controversial,如一个慈善...
評分在血腥味和尸臭中沤肥的思想,写出的句子没有废话,只有微微的凉意和咬着牙关的狠劲。有点儿《战争之王》台词的意思。在Dexter Filkins的故事中,你能同时嗅出两种味道,他完全明白自己所讲故事的精彩程度,但并不乐见它们如此精彩。像一个久经欢场的妓女一边津津乐道她神乎其...
