英文简介:
In this “gripping account of catastrophic defeat” (Barry Strauss), a New York Times-bestselling historian charts how and why some societies chose to utterly destroy their foes, and warns that similar wars of obliteration are possible in our time “In The End of Everything, Hanson tells compelling and harrowing stories of how civilizations perished.
He helps us consider contemporary affairs in light of that history, think about the unthinkable, and recognize the urgency of trying to prevent our own demise.
” — H.
R.
McMaster, author of Battlegrounds War can settle disputes, topple tyrants, and bend the trajectory of civilization–sometimes to the breaking point.
From Troy to Hiroshima, moments when war has ended in utter annihilation have reverberated through the centuries, signaling the end of political systems, cultures, and epochs.
Though much has changed over the millennia, human nature remains the same.
Modern societies are not immune from the horror of a war of extinction.
In The End of Everything, military historian Victor Davis Hanson narrates a series of sieges and sackings that span the age of antiquity to the conquest of the New World to show how societies descend into barbarism and obliteration.
In the stories of Thebes, Carthage, Constantinople, and Tenochtitlan, he depicts war’s drama, violence, and folly.
Highlighting the naivete that plagued the vanquished and the wrath that justified mass slaughter, Hanson delivers a sobering call to contemporary readers to heed the lessons of obliteration lest we blunder into catastrophe once again.
中文简介:

在《一切》中,汉森讲述了文明如何消亡的引人入胜且令人痛苦的故事,他帮助我们根据这段历史思考当代事务,思考不可想象的事情,并认识到努力防止我们自己灭亡的紧迫性。
” ——HR 麦克马斯特,《战场》一书的作者 战争可以解决争端、推翻暴君、扭转文明的轨迹——有时甚至达到崩溃的边缘。
从特洛伊到广岛,战争以彻底毁灭结束的时刻回响了几个世纪,标志着政治制度、文化和时代的终结。
尽管几千年来发生了很大的变化,但人性却始终如一。
现代社会也未能幸免于灭绝战争的恐怖。
在《一切的终结》中,军事历史学家维克多·戴维斯·汉森讲述了从古代到征服新世界的一系列围攻和洗劫,以展示社会如何陷入野蛮和毁灭。
在底比斯、迦太基、君士坦丁堡和特诺奇蒂特兰的故事中,他描绘了战争的戏剧性、暴力和愚蠢。
汉森强调了困扰战败者的天真和为大规模屠杀辩护的愤怒,他向当代读者发出了发人深省的呼吁,提醒他们注意灭绝的教训,以免我们再次陷入灾难。
