我强烈推荐恩斯特·荣格（Ernst Jünger）的《钢铁风暴》（Storm of Steel）。他对战壕里那种恐惧感的描写简直绝了。http://www.amazon.com/Storm-Steel-Penguin-Classics-J%C3%BCng...
I highly recommend "Storm of steel" by Ernst Jünger. He has incredible descriptions of the terror felt at the trenches. http://www.amazon.com/Storm-Steel-Penguin-Classics-J%C3%BCng...
>Where does such suicidal bravery come from? If that is something you're interested in, you would probably enjoy reading Ernst Jünger's Storm of Steel. Make sure to read the 1929 version. I believe there is only one english translation, by Basil Creighton. All the other editions available in the market are subsequent edits the author made, each one…
……两次世界大战，以及他那本（现已进入公有领域的）书《从伦敦到莱迪史密斯，途经比勒陀利亚》（From London to Ladysmith by Way of Pretoria）。----- 另外，如果你不想看那种出场人物成百上千、宏大冗长的史诗，不妨考虑一下恩斯特·荣格的《钢铁风暴》，这是一战最棒的第一人称实录——如果我没记错的话，直到最近的2000年或2004年才有了不错的英译本。
…the world wars, and his (now public-domain) book "From London to Ladysmith by Way of Pretoria." ----- Alternatively, if you don't want a grand, sprawling epic with a cast of hundreds, please consider "Storm of Steel", by Ernst Junger, the Best First-Person Account of the First World War -- a good english translation has only been available quite recently, 2000 or 2004 if I recall correctly.
…life. I watched a little bit of the Olympics (my wife made me) and while the ladies figure skating was ok, the rest, and especially the commercials, made me feel dumb. I had to go read a good book (Storm of Steel by Ernst Junger) to boost my mental processes back to normal. Stupid TV.
……借这个机会推荐几本我心目中的绝对神作，我爱惨了它们，翻来覆去读了太多遍，以至于每本我都翻烂换了3本？它们是：1. 《无畏号》（Dreadnought，RKM著） 2. 《钢铁风暴》（Earnst Junger著） 3. （附赠）《伟大的乔赛亚：想成为国王的人的真实故事》（Josiah The Great: The True Story of The Man Who Would Be King）。在我看来，《无畏号》是整体最棒的历史书，而《钢铁风暴》则是最棒的第一人称……
…take this opportunity to add a couple of absolute gems, which I love, and which I have read and re-read so many times that I've gone through 3 copies each? They are: 1. Dreadnought (by RKM) 2. Storm of Steel (by Earnst Junger) 3. (bonus) Josiah The Great: The True Story of The Man Who Would Be King For my money, Dreadnought is the Best Overall History Book, and Storm of Steel is the best First-Person…
…I'm interested in: one comprehensive history of the major events and people of the period, and one personal story. (For instance, the late 1800s/early 1900s incl WW1, I have "Dreadnought" by RKM and "Storm of Steel" by Junger). For the time before and during the first Afghan War, I can highly recommend: 1) Maybe the best-researched, most vivid, and most comprehensive overall telling of the before, during and after…

>这种视死如归的勇气到底从何而来？如果你对这个感兴趣，你大概会喜欢读恩斯特·荣格的《钢铁风暴》。一定要读1929年的版本。据我所知英文译本只有一个，由Basil Creighton翻译。市面上能买到的其他版本全都是作者后来的修改版，每一版……

……生活。我看了一会儿奥运会（我老婆逼我看的），虽然女子花滑还行，但其余的、尤其是那些广告，简直看得我脑子发懵。我不得不去读本好书（恩斯特·荣格的《钢铁风暴》）来让我那停转的脑子恢复正常。破电视真要命。

……我感兴趣的是：一本涵盖该时期重大事件和人物的全面历史，加上一个个人视角的故事。（比如19世纪末/20世纪初包括一战在内，我选了RKM的《无畏号》和荣格的《钢铁风暴》）。至于第一次阿富汗战争之前和期间的历史，我可以强烈推荐：1）可能是对前因、后果及战时研究最透彻、描写最生动、最全面的整体叙述……
