James A. Garfield 是历任当选总统中最非同凡响的人物之一。他出生于赤贫之家，后来成长为神童学者、Civil War 英雄，以及声名显赫、备受敬重的改革派国会议员。他在违背自身意愿的情况下被提名为总统候选人，并与腐败的政治建制派展开了激烈斗争。但在就职四个月后，一名神智失常的求官者追踪到 Garfield 并朝他的背部开枪。然而这一枪并未立刻夺去 Garfield 的生命。随后发生的故事极具戏剧性，展现了一个处于动荡中的国家的震撼历程。这名精神失常的刺客那未竟的枪击

我给你推三本我今年最喜欢的：- Candice Millard 写的《The Destiny of the Republic》。这本书是以加菲尔德总统遇刺为框架写的。它涵盖了一段我几乎一无所知的时期（1880年代左右），所以读起来收获超多。真的是个疯狂又有趣的故事，在……
I'll give you my 3 favorites of the year: - The Destiny of the Republic, by Candice Millard. The shooting of Garfield is the framing of this book. It covers a time period I knew such little about (~1880s), so I learned so much reading it. Just a crazy, interesting story in…
Candace Millard 的《The Destiny of the Republic》讲的就是这个，写得相当不错。加菲尔德看起来像是那种在任内本可以大有所为的人，考虑到他出众的才智和平民出身的背景。我还觉得……的历程
Candace Millard's book "the destiny of the republic" covers this and is pretty good. Garfield seemed like the type of person who could have done great things in office, given his apparent intelligence and humble upbringing. I also think the journey of…
如果“简短传记”里的第二段能吸引到你，那你绝对该读读《The Destiny of the Republic》。它讲了加菲尔德如何出人意料地当上总统、遇刺经过、贝尔尝试救他、开枪打他的那个疯子等等。对我来说，这也是一段很有意思的历史记录，讲了一个我曾……的时段
If the second paragraph of "A Short Biography" is at all interesting, then you should definitely read The Destiny of the Republic. It covers Garfield's unexpected rise to president, his assassination, Bell's attempt to save him, the nutter who shot him, and more. For me it was also an interesting coverage of a time period I knew…
……the Empire》（关于温斯顿·丘吉尔）和《River of Doubt》（西奥多·罗斯福）都很有趣，展现了重要历史人物身处我们平时不太会联想到的境地。她的第一本书《Destiny of the Republic》（詹姆斯·加菲尔德）也不错，但另外两本更胜一筹。还有 Malcolm Gladwell 的《David and Goliath》。
…the Empire” (about Winston Churchill) and “River of Doubt” (Theodore Roosevelt) are both interesting looks at important historical figures in situations we don’t often prescribe to them. Her first book “Destiny of the Republic” (James Garfield) is also good but the other two are superior. “David and Goliath” by Malcolm Gladwell.
……总体上关于老罗斯福（TR）。作者 Candice Millard 还有另外两本书我也强烈推荐：《Hero of the Empire》，讲的是丘吉尔在布尔战争期间逃离战俘营的故事；还有《Destiny of the Republic》，讲的是加菲尔德总统遇刺案。
…with TR in general. The author, Candice Millard, has two other books which I also enthusiastically recommend: "Hero of the Empire", about Churchill's escape from a POW camp during the Boer War, and "Destiny of the Republic" about the assassination of President Garfield.
