"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."
借书的时候,没仔细看上面的介绍,或者看了也没记住?坦白地说,本来是要借来催眠用的。前几章也的确是那个用途。只是听着听着就开始关注了,就不忍在半夜听了。这书真好听。
还有一本也很不错:
"To Rescue the Constitution" by Bret Baier
作者认为乔治 华盛顿三次拯救了这个国家,第一次指挥了独立战争。第二次坐镇了产生美国宪法的唯一一次制宪大会,平息调解了在制宪中的种种矛盾纠纷。 第三次作为新生国家的第一任总统。"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."
最后这句会让人多想吧?究竟那时的国家有那么分裂么?还是今天的人们更愿意相信分裂是正常的,今天的分裂也没啥新鲜?
说实话,前几年我也这么想,再怎么样,也没有林肯面对的那么严重吧?
其实我不知道。这本书好像并没有让我找到答案,因为我怀疑是不是作者有意要喂给我一个答案。。。呵呵。
活着,就继续看历史在演变。。。
