为什么值得读
- 揭示铁路物流动员如何让一战演变成不可逆的必然
- 虽聚焦一战开局却能为两次世界大战提供深刻洞见
- 详尽记录了一战爆发前后的关键历史时刻
1962年出版即获盛赞并荣膺1963年普利策奖的 The Guns of August，是对1914年第一次世界大战灾难性爆发及随后的三十天战役的经典记录。这一最初的冲突决定了整场战争未来的走向，并塑造了我们所处世纪的历史。Barbara W. Tuchman 这部精彩绝伦的畅销力作，其扣人心弦的戏剧张力至今仍令读者手不释卷，现推出附有作者新序言的25周年纪念版。在1914年的夏天，欧洲就像一堆摆放得如同挑竹签游戏般脆弱微妙的刀剑，任何一把都无法抽动

……信息密度实在太低了。他花了老长篇幅其实没讲多少东西，听起来还一套一套的挺高深。我建议不如直接看这些经典参考书：* 约翰·基根的《一战史》（The First World War） * 芭芭拉·W·塔奇曼的《八月炮火》（The Guns of August）
…information density is quite low. He takes a long time to say not much, all the while sounding quite profound. I'd recommend the classic references instead/as well: * The First World War by John Keegan * The Guns of August by Barbara W. Tuchman

虽然扯得有点远，但我昨晚碰巧刚读完芭芭拉·塔奇曼的《八月炮火》。如果 HN 上有哪位军事历史迷还没读过，一定要找来看看。虽然讲的是一战开局，但它对两次世界大战都提供了非常深刻的洞见。
This is very tangential, but I just happened to finish the "Guns of August" by Barbara Tuchman last night. If any HN military history buffs have not read it yet, do pick it up. Although about the opening of WWI, it provides some great insight into both World Wars.
我记得芭芭拉·塔奇曼在那本神作《八月炮火》里提出/描述过一个观点：当时支撑后勤的铁路系统技术特性决定了，一旦某个国家下达了预防性动员令，战争基本上就不可避免了。谁也没法……
As I recall it, Barbara Tuchman argues/describes in the Excellent "The Guns of August" that once precautionary mobilization had been ordered in one country, due to the nature of the railway system driven technology behind the logistics of the day, war was pretty much inevitable. Nobody…
非常感谢推荐，已经搞了一本。塔奇曼写过《八月炮火》和《骄傲之塔》，讲的是一战爆发前夕、期间以及刚结束那阵子的历史。我觉得两本都极其精彩，相信《远方之镜》肯定也很值得一读。
Many thanks for the recommendation; picked up a copy. Tuchman wrote Guns of August and The Proud Tower about the times immediately before, during and after the start of WWI. I found both outstanding reads and I can only think A Distant Mirror to be worth the time.
如果有人想了解当年为什么会在达达尼尔海峡开打，去读读芭芭拉·塔奇曼的《八月炮火》吧。它涵盖了从萨拉热窝事件到马恩河战役的时间线。http://www.audible.com/pd/History/The-Guns-of-August-Audiobo...
For those interested in why there was fighting in the Dardanelles, read Guns of August by Barbera Tuchman. It covers the timeline from Serajevo to The Marne. http://www.audible.com/pd/History/The-Guns-of-August-Audiobo...
