Browning），大屠殺研究史家 \u003cbr\u003e與其他史家相較，史奈德更有勇氣面對會把別人嚇跑的重要問題：最多人遇害的事件在何時何地發生？受害者是哪些族裔與群體？該怎樣計算並檢證死亡數字？這是一本會迫使讀者重新思考歷史的書。 \u003cbr\u003e──諾曼．戴維斯（Norman Davies），英國國家學術院院士 \u003cbr\u003e年度選書 \u003cbr\u003e即便你因為深諳這段歷史而自豪，也會在讀完史奈德先生的精彩洞見時大有醍醐灌頂之感。……鞭辟入裡、絲絲入扣，這是耶魯大學史學大師史奈德傾注畢生心力之作，值得一讀再讀。 \u003cbr\u003e──《經濟學人》年度選書 \u003cbr\u003e《血色大地》促使我們重新思考現代歐洲與二次大戰的方方面面。史奈德為那些殉難的人討回些許人性尊嚴，並沒有只是把他們當成受害者看待。 \u003cbr\u003e──《新共和週刊》年度選書 \u003cbr\u003e史奈德敘事面面俱到，極具說服力，中間還不時穿插關於受害者、加害者與見證人的小故事。 \u003cbr\u003e──《紐約時報》編輯選書 \u003cbr\u003e說到蓄意大屠殺，迄今仍然無人能超越史達林與希特勒。儘管長期以來我們對他們倆所犯下的罪行已經有不少了解，但對於那些罪行的性質與嚴重程度仍有很多誤解，而這可能是因為過去我們都忽略了這兩大獨裁者之間的互動。 \u003cbr\u003e──《獨立報》年度選書 \u003cbr\u003e史奈德讓我們看到一九三〇到四五年，波羅的海各國、白俄羅斯、波蘭與烏克蘭到底發生哪些事。

\u003cbr\u003e《血色大地》寫得精彩、清晰又好讀……，刷新了我們思考東歐的方式，改變我們對於史達林、納粹與大屠殺的認知。……史奈德在這本書裡面集結了許多新的觀念與研究，其中很多都還沒翻譯成英文。這本書是令人肅然起敬的學術成就，打破了過往的許多迷思，創造出一部迷人的嶄新歐洲史。 \u003cbr\u003e──《新政治家週刊》年度選書 \u003cbr\u003e近年來，位於血色大地的各國紛紛宣稱自己受害最深，陷入了某種「殉難比賽」之中，史奈德也讓我們知道這種比較有多危險。 \u003cbr\u003e──《西雅圖時報》年度選書 \u003cbr\u003e毫無疑問是今年歷史書籍中的亮點。 \u003cbr\u003e──《今日歷史》雜誌（History Today）年度選書 \u003cbr\u003e各方好評 \u003cbr\u003e史奈德是一位才華洋溢的史家，說故事功力堪稱一流。他以專業手法梳理了一個複雜無比的故事，打破迷思，糾正誤解，為我們提供脈絡與分析，還有身而為人都該知道的議題。……《血色大地》權威性與想像力兼具，述說歐洲史上最多人遇害的慘劇，敘述風格明晰清楚，堪為典範。史奈德的初衷就是要為極權主義的數百萬受害者發聲，把人類形象還給他們。在這方面他的成就斐然。 \u003cbr\u003e──《BBC歷史雜誌》 \u003cbr\u003e我們普遍都把納粹與史達林政權當成大時代的悲劇，卻不設法劃分兩者的差異，不設法表明這兩大政權下的受害者其實包含各種不同人民。史奈德這本書力挽狂瀾，反對此一傾向。 \u003cbr\u003e──《種族滅絕研究》季刊 \u003cbr\u003e史奈德簡直像人體百科全書，他對那些引人入勝的史實和確鑿的數據可謂瞭若指掌。……在如今學界比較年輕的現代歐洲史史家裡面，史奈德可能是最有天賦的。他的散文風格展現出不可思議的才華，即便是處理如此壓抑的主題也能夠勉力堅持道德立場，不會輕易屈從於悲情式的陳腔濫調。 \u003cbr\u003e──《國家》（The Nation）雜誌 \u003cbr\u003e死亡人數實在太多，死狀實在太慘，讓人悲傷到最後有可能會麻木。但史奈德身兼傑出作家與偉大學者很清楚這一點。他請我們不要用被化約的數字來理解這段歷史。 \u003cbr\u003e──《衛報》 \u003cbr\u003e作者翻轉了傳統視角，從底層的角度來檢視二次大戰與戰前的那幾年：並非從上而下去看待那一場軍事衝突，把二戰當成列強之間的爭鬥，而是從受害者與大屠殺相關人士的觀點出發。 \u003cbr\u003e──《波士頓環球報》 \u003cbr\u003e史奈德探討納粹的猶太大屠殺，但也把蘇聯的暴行納入討論範圍，這種做法極具開創性。他深入檢視了一個過去是禁忌，但非常有必要了解的議題。 \u003cbr\u003e──《華盛頓郵報》 \u003cbr\u003e《血色大地》把大屠殺放回歷史脈絡來探討，拉回到更全面的歐洲衝突史來檢視。 \u003cbr\u003e──《華爾街日報》 \u003cbr\u003e我們當然有必要知道、了解、感覺這本書所寫的一切。這本書把那殘酷的一切用如此清晰明白的方式呈現出來，任誰看了都能知道、了解、感覺更多。 \u003cbr\u003e──《紐約客》 \u003cbr\u003e如果沒讀過史奈德這本書，我們對於史達林主義與人性的理解恐怕都會不夠完整，有所缺憾。 \u003cbr\u003e──《Slate》時政雜誌 \u003cbr\u003e《血色大地》糾正了我們過去對那個年代的常見理解。 \u003cbr\u003e──《哈潑雜誌》 \u003cbr\u003e任何研究二十世紀中葉歐洲史的學者與學生都應該收藏一本。 \u003cbr\u003e──《密西根戰爭研究評論》（Michigan War Studies Review） \u003cbr\u003e務必要讀《血色大地》，這樣你才知道，為了要實現最終極的邪惡，到底要做多少邪惡的壞事。 \u003cbr\u003e──《Tablet》猶太文化網路雜誌 \u003cbr\u003e受害人民慘遭納粹與蘇聯貶低為冷冷的數字，但史奈德在廣泛敘述東歐無比悲慘的歷史之餘，還是能夠讓我們看到那些受害者的人生受到了哪些活生生、血淋淋的衝擊。 \u003cbr\u003e──《愛爾蘭時報》 \u003cbr\u003e任何人讀了這本書，對於二十世紀中葉歷史的看法都會徹底改變。……史奈德對過去被忽略的歷史提出精彩洞見，並把事件放在東歐的視角下來檢視。 \u003cbr\u003e──捷克《布拉格郵報》 \u003cbr\u003e有用的書很多，重要之書不過五六本，但《血色大地》的成就，卻是改變了我們對於二十世紀歷史的看法，並且促使我們另眼看待極權烏托邦主義所付出的人命代價。 \u003cbr\u003e──《波蘭評論》季刊（The Polish Review） \u003cbr\u003e透過這本書，我們看到當年住在血色大地上的先人面臨了哪些難題與恐怖，他們如何倖存、如何與敵人合作或抵抗、如何彼此相愛並抱持希望、如何生又如何死。史奈德讓歷史敘事的主角不再由史達林與希特勒扮演，那些無辜的受害者也有上場機會。 \u003cbr\u003e──烏克蘭《基輔郵報》（The Kyiv Post） \u003cbr\u003e讀者能夠越快精讀這本書，才有可能重新看待東歐地區某些長久以來都非常惡劣嚴峻的國與國關係。 \u003cbr\u003e──俄羅斯《莫斯科新聞報》（The Moscow News） \u003cbr\u003e作者一絲不苟地呈現［納粹與蘇聯］這兩大政權的滅絕行動與大屠殺……，史奈德並非要等同兩者或對兩者進行比較，而是「為了理解我們的時代與我們自己」。 \u003cbr\u003e──德國《世界報》（Die Welt） \u003cbr\u003e史奈德主張……若要還原晚近中歐歷史的本色，就要從德、蘇兩大帝國的關係去看，因為兩者互動的結果造成深遠的影響。 \u003cbr\u003e──《澳洲人報週末版》（Weekend Australian） \u003cbr\u003e對於那些殺害了一千四百萬人的二十世紀東歐大屠殺事件，我們非常需要把相關的記憶保留下來，寫下相關的歷史，而《血色大地》是這方面的重要里程碑。 \u003cbr\u003e──以色列《大屠殺研究》半年刊（Yad Vashem Studies） \u003cbr\u003e從開頭讀起，或選擇書中任何一頁的某個段落來看，《血色大地》都會讓你立刻入迷，打從心底深刻感受到那兩位野心領袖與其追隨者的所作所為有多恐怖，他們的行徑有多荒謬無理、邪惡墮落。 \u003cbr\u003e──Kindle電子閱讀器每日貼文 \u003cbr\u003e本以為已經看透、聽遍有關這個主題的一切，但我錯了。

Obama, an itinerant child of the 1970s, was raised by a single mother in Indonesia and Hawaii, suspended between worlds and a witness to the less savory side of Uncle Sam’s influence abroad.

Drawing on a broad range of sources—from the psychology of fear to the latest Code Orange alerts and airport security technologies—he also explores the reasons that the public, the legislatures, the courts, and technologists have made feel-good choices that give us the illusion of safety without actually making us safer.

Kaplan traces the history of the world’s hot spots by examining their climates, topographies, and proximities to other embattled lands. The Russian steppe’s pitiless climate and limited vegetation bred hard and cruel men bent on destruction, for example, while Nazi geopoliticians distorted geopolitics entirely, calculating that space on the globe used by the British Empire and the Soviet Union could be swallowed by a greater German homeland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKaplan then applies the lessons learned to the present crises in Europe, Russia, China, the Indian subcontinent, Turkey, Iran, and the Arab Middle East. The result is a holistic interpretation of the next cycle of conflict throughout Eurasia. Remarkably, the future can be understood in the context of temperature, land allotment, and other physical certainties: China, able to feed only 23 percent of its people from land that is only 7 percent arable, has sought energy, minerals, and metals from such brutal regimes as Burma, Iran, and Zimbabwe, putting it in moral conflict with the United States. Afghanistan’s porous borders will keep it the principal invasion route into India, and a vital rear base for Pakistan, India’s main enemy. Iran will exploit the advantage of being the only country that straddles both energy-producing areas of the Persian Gulf and the Caspian Sea. Finally, Kaplan posits that the United States might rue engaging in far-flung conflicts with Iraq and Afghanistan rather than tending to its direct neighbor Mexico, which is on the verge of becoming a semifailed state due to drug cartel carnage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA brilliant rebuttal to thinkers who suggest that globalism will trump geography, this indispensable work shows how timeless truths and natural facts can help prevent this century’s looming cataclysms.","brand":"Random House Publishing Group : Random House Trade Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44179426476259,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9780812982220","price":141.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780812982220.webp?v=1734847198"},{"product_id":"the-thirteen-american-arguments-9780812976359","title":"The Thirteen American Arguments","description":"By: Howard Fineman     \u003chr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHoward Fineman, one of our most trusted political journalists, shows that every debate, from our nation’s founding to the present day, is rooted in one of thirteen arguments that–thankfully–defy resolution.

We should all heed Holmes’s salutary lesson: rationally follow the facts to find the truth.”\u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Random House Publishing Group : Random House Trade Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44179567575267,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9780399589478","price":121.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780399589478.jpg?v=1734849149"},{"product_id":"i-alone-can-fix-it-9780593298947","title":"I Alone Can Fix It","description":"By: Carol Leonnig, Philip Rucker     \u003chr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe instant #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller | A \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e Notable Book | One of NPR's Best Books of 2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe definitive behind-the-scenes story of Trump's final year in office, by Phil Rucker and Carol Leonnig, the Pulitzer-Prize winning reporters and authors of \u003ci\u003eA Very Stable Genius.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e“Chilling.” – Anderson Cooper\u003cbr\u003e“Jaw-dropping.” – John Berman \u003cbr\u003e“Shocking.” – John Heilemann\u003cbr\u003e“Explosive.” – Hallie Jackson\u003cbr\u003e“Blockbuster new reporting.” – Nicolle Wallace \u003cbr\u003e“Bracing new revelations.” – Brian Williams \u003cbr\u003e“Bombshell reporting.” – David Muir\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe true story of what took place in Donald Trump’s White House during a disastrous 2020 has never before been told in full. What was really going on around the president, as the government failed to contain the coronavirus and over half a million Americans perished? Who was influencing Trump after he refused to concede an election he had clearly lost and spread lies about election fraud? To answer these questions, Phil Rucker and Carol Leonnig reveal a dysfunctional and bumbling presidency’s inner workings in unprecedented, stunning detail.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFocused on Trump and the key players around him—the doctors, generals, senior advisers, and Trump family members— Rucker and Leonnig provide a forensic account of the most devastating year in a presidency like no other. Their sources were in the room as time and time again Trump put his personal gain ahead of the good of the country. These witnesses to history tell the story of him longing to deploy the military to the streets of American cities to crush the protest movement in the wake of the killing of George Floyd, all to bolster his image of strength ahead of the election. These sources saw firsthand his refusal to take the threat of the coronavirus seriously—even to the point of allowing himself and those around him to be infected. This is a story of a nation sabotaged—economically, medically, and politically—by its own leader, culminating with a groundbreaking, minute-by-minute account of  exactly what went on in the Capitol building on January 6, as Trump’s supporters so easily breached the most sacred halls of American democracy, and how the president reacted. With unparalleled access, Rucker and Leonnig explain and expose exactly who enabled—and who foiled—Trump as he sought desperately to cling to power.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA classic and heart-racing work of investigative reporting, this book is destined to be read and studied by citizens and historians alike for decades to come.","brand":"Diversified Publishing : Random House Large Print \/ Penguin Publishing Group : Penguin Press","offers":[{"title":"US - Hardback","offer_id":44186300416227,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9780593298947","price":192.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780593298947.webp?v=1761091186"},{"product_id":"justice-on-the-brink-9780593447949","title":"Justice on the Brink","description":"By: Linda Greenhouse     \u003chr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe gripping story of the Supreme Court’s transformation from a measured institution of law and justice into a highly politicized body dominated by a right-wing supermajority, told through the dramatic lens of its most transformative year, by the Pulitzer Prize–winning law columnist for \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e—with a new preface by the author\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A dazzling feat . . . meaty, often scintillating and sometimes scary . . .

At first there were skirmishes, then battles off the coasts of England and Germany and in the far corners of the world, including the Falklands. The British attempted to force the Dardanelles with battleships - which led to the Gallipoli catastrophe. As the stalemate on the ground on the Western Front continued, the German Navy released a last strike against the British 'ring of steel'. The result was Jutland, a titanic and brutal battle between dreadnoughts. The knowledge, understanding and literary power Robert K. Massie brings to this story is unparalleled. There will never again be a war like this in which seagoing monsters hurl shells at each other until one side is destroyed. The story is driven by some of the most dramatically intriguing personalities in history: Churchill and Jacky Fisher, Jellicoe and Beatty. And then there were the powerful Germans - von Pohl, Scheer, Hipper, and the grand old fork-bearded genius Tirpitz. Castles of Steel is a book about leadership and command, bravery and timidity, genius and folly, qualities which are of course displayed magnificently by Robert K. Massie's literary mastery.","brand":"Random House Publishing Group : Ballantine Books \/ Vintage \/ Ballantine Books","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44179786825955,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9780345408785","price":141.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44549142642915,"sku":"DTRPRUK-9780099523789","price":176.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780345408785_4a1cd755-60b0-46ee-9c99-b71dc084e9b5.webp?v=1754897667"},{"product_id":"where-valor-rests-9781426214813","title":"Where Valor Rests","description":"By: Rick Atkinson     \u003chr\u003eCommemorating the 150th anniversary of Arlington National Cemetery, this updated edition includes new images, an afterword by Brigadier General Creighton Abrams, Jr., and a revised map of the cemetery including newly acquired additional land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBittersweet and breathtaking, this gorgeously illustrated edition guides readers gently through the stories of Arlington National Cemetery's surprising origins, the people who tend the graves and mourn the fallen heroes, the tomb guards, the services, and more.
