发人深省。毫不夸张地讲。它为剖析我们国家的政治提供了一个绝佳视角。与你在学校学到的并不完全相同。作者做足了功课，当你读完这本书时，将会获得一个崭新的视角。例如，Jefferson 曾极力打击 Adams，以至于在他当上总统后通过了一项法律，规定抨击总统属于煽动叛乱罪；Hamilton 实际上曾在新闻界诽谤 Burr，Burr 曾警告说会杀了他——而当时 Burr 正是副总统。我知道这些在学校里可没人教过我。

我读过一本讲美国独立战争的书，叫《Washington's Crossing》，作者是 David Hackett Fischer。书的护封很应景，用的就是 Emanuel Leutze 那幅标志性的画作《华盛顿跨越特拉华河》（https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Crossing_the_Delawa...）。……
I read a book about the Revolutionary War called "Washington's Crossing" by David Hackett Fischer. The wrap-around cover of the book is, appropriately, the iconic painting "Washington Crossing the Delaware" by Emanuel Leutze (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Crossing_the_Delawa...).…
我很喜欢书单里还列出了国防部文职人员的 GS 职级。这些书单里真有几本挺有意思的书。我早就把《Washington's Crossing》加进书单了。看到一本给 GS-14/15 推荐的书书名里居然有 PowerPoint，我直接笑出声。
I love that the list includes GS grades for DoD civilians. There's some really interesting books in these lists. I already had Washington's Crossing queued up. Seeing PowerPoint in the title of a GS-14/15 recommendation gave me a chuckle.
