National Bestseller One of the Best Books of the Year: New York Times , Washington Post , Los Angeles Times , USA Today , Boston Globe , and Time An instant classic of war reporting, The Forever War is the definitive account of America's conflict with Islamic fundamentalism and a searing exploration of its human costs. Through the eyes of Filkins, a foreign correspondent for the New York Times, we witness the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s, the aftermath of the attack on New York on September 11th, and the American wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Filkins is the only American journalist to have reported on all these events, and his experiences are conveyed in a riveting narrative filled with unforgettable characters and astonishing scenes. Brilliant and fearless, The Forever War is not just about America's wars after 9/11, but about the nature of war itself.

评分 评分看这本美国战地记者关于阿富汗和伊拉克战争的非虚构作品前,我很努力的想要去了解关于中东的一些常识性知识。这种努力的最终结果是,去年购买的一本《塔利班:宗教极端主义在阿富汗及其周边地区》依然平静的躺在我的书架上,这本稍微有些大部头的著作我想短期内我应该不会翻阅...
评分之前在热销榜上寻得此书,就像跑步之前的热身总是稍显无趣,书的开篇并没有吸引到我,反而由于纪实文学的特点,所有东西显得没有头绪。不过当我我关注新闻中isis出现时,让我对于中东这个神奇的地方产生了浓厚的兴趣。而恰巧我也逐渐来到了书中最吸引我的地方。作者毕竟是西方...
