内容简介： |
无论从哪方面看，1968都是不同寻常的一年。越南的1968新年攻势，美军在越南的“米莱大屠杀”、马丁·路德·金和肯尼迪总统遭暗杀、捷克的“布拉格之春”等等事件是那个多事之秋的主题。全文突出了“改变世界”这一主题，读者完全置身于那个越来越显得比今日之世界单纯、也越来越比今日之世界深思熟虑的过去。那是有着“令人震惊的现代主义”和“古朴真纯”的年代，这两者的结合没有刚出现时那么尖锐矛盾。 BOOK
REVIEW: To read this book is to be transported to a very
specific past at once more naive and more mature than today; as Kurlansky puts it, it was a time of
"shocking modernism" and "quaint innocence," a
combination less contradictory than it first appears. The common genesis of
demonstrations occurring in virtually every Western nation was the war in
Vietnam. Without shortchanging the roles of race and age, Kurlansky
shrewdly emphasizes the rise of television as a near-instantaneous (and less
packaged than today) conduit of news as key to the year's unfolding. To his
credit, Kurlansky does not overdo Berkeley at the
expense of Paris or Warsaw or Mexico City. The gains and costs of the new
ethic of mass demonstration are neatly illustrated by the U.S. presidential
campaign: the young leftists helped force the effective abdication of
President Lyndon Johnson - and were rewarded with "silent majority"
spokesman Richard Nixon. 1968 is a thorough and loving (perhaps a bit too loving
of the boomer generation) tapestry - or time capsule. REVIEWS
