"Codename Nemo" by Charles Lachman
"On June 4, 1944, the course of WWII was forever changed. That day, a US Navy task force achieved the impossible - capturing a German U-Boat. Called Operation Nemo, it was the first seizure of an enemy ship in battle since the War of 1812, one of the greatest achievements of ths US Navy and a victory that shortened the duration of the war."
借書的時候,沒仔細看上麵的介紹,或者看了也沒記住?坦白地說,本來是要借來催眠用的。前幾章也的確是那個用途。隻是聽著聽著就開始關注了,就不忍在半夜聽了。這書真好聽。
還有一本也很不錯:
"To Rescue the Constitution" by Bret Baier
作者認為喬治 華盛頓三次拯救了這個國家,第一次指揮了獨立戰爭。第二次坐鎮了產生美國憲法的唯一一次製憲大會,平息調解了在製憲中的種種矛盾糾紛。 第三次作為新生國家的第一任總統。"There is no doubt that the struggling new nation needed to be resucued - and that Washington was the only American who could bring them together."
"Baier exposes an early America that is grittier and far more devided than is often portrayed - one we can see reflected in today's conflicts."
最後這句會讓人多想吧?究竟那時的國家有那麽分裂麽?還是今天的人們更願意相信分裂是正常的,今天的分裂也沒啥新鮮?
說實話,前幾年我也這麽想,再怎麽樣,也沒有林肯麵對的那麽嚴重吧?
其實我不知道。這本書好像並沒有讓我找到答案,因為我懷疑是不是作者有意要喂給我一個答案。。。嗬嗬。
活著,就繼續看曆史在演變。。。
