具体描述
From 1979 to 1989 a million Soviet troops engaged in a devastating war in Afghanistan that claimed 50,000 casualties―and the youth and humanity of many tens of thousands more. Creating controversy and outrage when it was first published in the USSR―it was called by reviewers there a “slanderous piece of fantasy” and part of a “hysterical chorus of malign attacks”―Zinky Boys presents the candid and affecting testimony of the officers and grunts, nurses and prostitutes, mothers, sons, and daughters who describe the war and its lasting effects. What emerges is a story that is shocking in its brutality and revelatory in its similarities to the American experience in Vietnam. The Soviet dead were shipped back in sealed zinc coffins (hence the term “Zinky Boys”), while the state denied the very existence of the conflict. Svetlana Alexievich brings us the truth of the Soviet-Afghan War: the beauty of the country and the savage Army bullying, the killing and the mutilation, the profusion of Western goods, the shame and shattered lives of returned veterans. Zinky Boys offers a unique, harrowing, and unforgettably powerful insight into the realities of war.
作者简介
Svetlana Alexievich was born in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine, in 1948 and has spent most of her life in the Soviet Union and present-day Belarus, with prolonged periods of exile in Western Europe. Starting out as a journalist, she developed her own nonfiction genre, which gathers a chorus of voices to describe a specific historical moment. Her works include The Unwomanly Face of War (1985), Last Witnesses (1985), Zinky Boys (1990), Voices from Chernobyl (1997), and Secondhand Time (2013). She has won many international awards, including the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature “for her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time.”

读后感
战争内容的虚构类的小说，非虚构类的历史著作，看过的，没看过的，多少都会带着开边拓土的激情。封狼居胥也好，中途岛海战也罢，哪怕是崖山之役，也多少会带着哪怕一点点激情的，但本书所作为“背景”所讲述的阿富汗战争却看不到哪怕一丝激情。在这里the war equals to the dis...
评分《锌皮娃娃兵》S.A.阿列克谢耶维奇 第一次认识到战争的残酷，大概是在看了电影《芳华》中的战争场面，特别是被救治的伤员和阵亡者的遗体，好像肢体和内脏器官都是可拆卸的零件，而《锌皮娃娃兵》中描述的战争血腥残酷面与此几乎相同。战争分解了一个完整的人，既是肉体层面的，...
