楊照談書-臺北廣播電臺【楊照談書】Barbara W. Tuchman《齊默爾曼電報：美國加入第一次世界大戰的關鍵，1917-1918》第2集本書作者芭芭拉．塔克曼透過這本書所要回答的問題是：「為何美國終究加入了第一次世界大戰？」
對於這個問題，一個最關鍵的答案就是：「齊默爾曼電報」。
在第一次世界大戰開戰之初，美國威爾遜總統堅持中立，
並在競選連任時打出「他讓我們遠離戰爭」的口號，甚至表明「我們如果參戰，那就是犯了反文明罪」。
但到了最後，美國還是參戰了。有一位讀者疑惑：「從各個重要的層面來看，我們至今仍不知道為什麼威爾遜會做出讓美國捲入第一次世界大戰的重要決定。」
對於這個問題，芭芭拉．塔克曼在本書的開頭回應這位讀者：「我只想說，你可以來讀這本書。」

BookOdysseyThe Guns of August by Barbara Wertheim TuchmanThe provided excerpts offer an examination of the opening month of World War I, primarily focusing on military strategy, leadership, and early battles as described in Barbara W. Tuchman’s historical work, The Guns of August. The text details the inflexible war plans of both Germany (the Schlieffen Plan) and France (Plan 17), highlighting how initial offensives in Belgium, Lorraine, and the Ardennes were quickly marred by poor execution, exhausted troops, and unforeseen enemy actions. Furthermore, the sources explore the political and diplomatic maneuvering among the belligerents, including Britain’s hesitant entry into the conflict, Russia’s hurried and disastrous offens...

Impara a Leggere tra le RigheI cannoni di agostoAgosto 1914. Un'estate di illusioni e fatali errori di calcolo. Nel suo capolavoro vincitore del Premio Pulitzer, Barbara W. Tuchman ricostruisce i trenta giorni che incendiarono il mondo, dando inizio alla Grande Guerra. Con una narrazione avvincente come un thriller, svela la superbia, la miopia e la tragica concatenazione di decisioni che spinsero re e generali verso una catastrofe annunciata. "I cannoni d'agosto" non è solo un saggio storico, ma il racconto mozzafiato di come l'Europa, quasi in stato di sonnambulismo, inciampò nel baratro, cambiando per sempre il corso del XX secolo.

Impara a Leggere tra le RigheI cannoni d'agostoNell'estate del 1914, l'Europa viveva l'illusione di una pace eterna, ignara dell'abisso imminente. Come poté un singolo mese, l'agosto di quell'anno, scatenare la carneficina della Prima Guerra Mondiale? Barbara W. Tuchman ci guida con la maestria di una romanziera nel vortice di decisioni fatali, calcoli errati e orgoglio smisurato di re e generali. Non un arido saggio storico, ma un thriller mozzafiato che svela come una serie di follie umane abbia acceso la miccia della catastrofe che ha plasmato il nostro mondo moderno.

The Ezra Klein ShowThe Growing Scandal of $TRUMPSteve Bannon famously talked about using “muzzle velocity” as a strategy: doing so much so quickly that you overwhelm the ability of the media to cover it. I think what the Trump family is doing with crypto is muzzle velocity for corruption.What they’re doing isn’t necessarily illegal. It would be if these were official campaign donations; the sums involved are so large, and the buyers include foreign nationals. But the Trump family is making this money personally. And they’re doing it across so many different crypto ventures, it’s almost impossible to keep track.

Curiosity CuratedS7E1 - The Forgotten Lessons of World War IYou are listening to Curiosity Curated. I am Zong."The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime." These chilling words by British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey on the eve of World War I capture the gravity of a moment that plunged the world into darkness. August 1914 marked the beginning of a conflict so devastating, so transformative, that its echoes still reverberate a century later.In this episode, we examine how the dangerous mix of interlocking geopolitical alliances, fervent nationalism, and imperial ambitions transformed Europe...
2025-01-2058 minCuriosity CuratedS7E1 (CN) - 那些被遗忘但和今日息息相关的一战历史教训您正在收听的是Curiosity Curated，我是Zong。"欧洲各地的明灯正在熄灭，在我们的有生之年恐怕再也看不到它们重新点亮了。"这句令人不寒而栗的话出自英国外交大臣爱德华·格雷爵士之口，是在第一次世界大战爆发前夕所说。这句话捕捉了那个将世界推入黑暗的历史转折点。1914年8月，一场前所未有的毁灭性冲突拉开序幕，其影响如此深远，以至于一个世纪后，其余震仍在继续。在本集中，我们将探讨地缘政治联盟的错综复杂、民族主义的狂热以及帝国野心如何在1914年夏天将欧洲变成了一个火药桶。我们还将分析为什么经济一体化和贸易的力量，在面对民族主义狂热、国家安全顾虑和政治野心这些压倒性因素时，无法为和平提供足够的保障。我们的探索将借鉴几部开创性的著作：由Barbara Tuchman著作的、获得普利策奖的八月炮火 （The Guns of August），它巧妙地记录了欧洲陷入战争的整个过程；哈佛大学肯尼迪政府学院教授Graham Allison著作的注定一战（Destined for War），它阐明了新兴大国与守成大国之间的竞争关系；以及英国诺贝尔和平奖得主Norman Angell爵士著作的大幻觉（The Great Illusion），这部一战前的著作论证了经济相互依存使得战争变得毫无意义，但历史证明这一观点是错误的。通过探究地缘政治联盟体系、民族主义狂热和帝国野心如何交织在一起，将局部危机演变为全球灾难，我们将重新探索关于和平之脆弱以及大国竞争所带来持续危险的重要教训。这些历史启示有助于我们理解当今中国、俄罗斯和美国之间的地缘政治竞争。00:19 本集介绍02:26 通过贸易实现和平的幻想04:49 德国崛起对英国经济霸权的挑战06:35 威廉二世与德意志帝国追寻阳光下的地位08:36 英德海军军备竞赛12:10 历史先例：英荷战争13:34 贸易的双刃剑与帝国扩张15:07 地缘政治火药桶：错综复杂的联盟责任链19:36 狂热民族主义：那个时代的驱动力22:55 军事计划：走向灾难的蓝图24:47 德国施里芬军事计划26:29 法国17号军事计划27:09 一战前军事计划的讽刺之处28:05 走向战争的最后步骤28:58 斐迪南大公遇刺事件29:56 七月危机与一战的爆发40:55 1914年8月的历史教训(Source: Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman, Destined for War by Graham Allison, The Great Illusion by Norman Angell.

Music, Book & Beyond每週選書｜郭重興社長談《八月砲火 》｜BOOK 003讀書共和國podcast BOOK 003《八月砲火》 播出日期 2022/9/2 Fri 主講／郭重興（讀書共和國出版集團社長） 特別感謝 一間書店 the1bookstore | Facebook 本節目由數位傳聲製作 Copyright © 2022 Echo Digital 合作、節目建議歡迎來信：echodigital2022@gmail.com 這集節目是讀書共和國出版集團社長郭重興先生在「一間書店」分享《八月砲火》。談起這本書，郭先生眉飛色舞，對內容瞭若指掌，舉例說明塔克曼的描寫如何細膩，讓人有如親睹，說明開戰之前德法之間如何戰雲密布，然後遠在薩拉耶佛發生刺殺奧國王儲的事件，引爆了蓄積的能量。這集podcast雖然沒有畫面，但聽眾應該可以充分體會到這一點。 00:00 開場 01:07 郭社長講塔克曼的細膩描述 05:49 第一次世界大戰是怎麼打起來的？德國的虛榮與部署 13:54 第一次世界大戰是怎麼打起來的？法國的顢頇與誤判 你可能也會喜歡： 每週選書｜BOOK 002《最長的一日：諾曼第登陸的英勇故事 》 https://open.firstory.me/story/cl796ukut033h01te99hh62jq ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ 八月砲火：資訊誤判如何釀成世界大戰【暢銷經典60週年紀念版】 The Guns of August 芭芭拉．塔克曼 Barbara W. Tuchman 著 顧淑馨 譯 廣場出版 2022/08/03出版 定價：680元 世局越動盪，越需要冷靜地閱讀： 還原一次大戰爆發的關鍵月份，重現決策過程的警世之作。 ★連續42週攻占《紐約時報》暢銷榜 ★普立茲獎最佳非虛構寫作 ★美國現代圖書館百大好書 「葉子還未從樹上落下前，你們就會回家了。」──德國皇帝威廉二世 「全歐洲的燈火正在熄滅，我們有生之年都不會見到它們再亮起。」──英國外相格雷爵士 一次世界大戰的爆發是人類歷史上的重大災難，導致全球超過三千萬軍民傷亡、多個歷史悠久的大帝國滅亡，甚至還埋下了另一場大戰的種子。這場悲劇為什麼會發生？為何會發生在以高度文明發展自豪的歐洲？這正是美國歷史學家芭芭拉‧塔克曼希望解答的課題。 塔克曼以自己最擅長的故事筆法，還原一次大戰爆發的頭一個月。她細緻捕捉當時歐洲列強的外交風雲如何導致衝突局勢升溫，生動描繪了各國領導人、外交官與軍事將領的性格與野望，包括夢想著改變現狀的德皇威廉、悲劇源頭的奧匈皇儲斐迪南大公、貌似耶誕老人的法軍總司令霞飛等。塔克曼追溯了導致戰爭爆發的每一步，揭露有著完美計畫的各國政軍高層，怎麼會深陷無人樂見的戰爭泥淖而無法抽身，最終釀成綿延多年的血腥戰火。在她筆下，一戰首月的複雜歐洲政局變成了一齣劇力萬鈞的戲碼，演員們機關算盡，卻無人料想到自己是在把世界推向戰爭的深淵。 《八月砲火》成書於一九六二年，出版後立即造成轟動，除了一舉摘下當年的普立茲獎最佳非虛構寫作獎，更備受時任美國總統甘迺迪的推崇。那年正好爆發古巴飛彈危機，美蘇核戰一觸即發，山雨欲來的氛圍宛如本書所描繪的一戰前夕。甘迺迪總統要閣員與將領都熟讀此書，稱讚此書幫助他化解了古巴飛彈危機，在最後一刻避免了災難重演。 今年是本書出版的六十週年，世界再度走到了全面衝突的邊緣。越來越多人開始擔心遠方的俄烏戰火會不會持續升級，擔心原本幾乎不可能發生的核戰危機，或是擔心下一場大戰會不會即將來臨。世局越緊張，越需要冷靜以對的力量。我們有必要重回上個世紀的過往，學習世界大戰爆發的歷史教訓。兩度普立茲獎得主芭芭拉．塔克曼的這本《八月砲火》，不僅是認識一次大戰的絕佳起點，更是動盪年代下值得讀者細細品嘗的經典。 留言告訴我你對這一集的想法： https://open.firstory.me/user/cl6aqx0u8045801sb731bcdqi/comments Powered by Firstory Hosting

אסור להשוותשידור חוזר: פרק 2 הגנוז - לאחר לעבודה זה כמו ערימת חולמעלים מהארכיון את הפרק השני הגנוז שלנו: מה אפשר לעשות כדי לא לאחר לעבודה?
הפרק הזה הוא אחד משני הפרקים הראשונים של הפודקאסט, שהוצאנו בסוף שנת 2019. לפני כמה חודשים החלטנו לתקן ולהתאים את תחילת הפיד שלנו כדי שמאזינים חדשים יוכלו לגשת מיד לתוכן יותר מגובש ומבוסס, וכחלק מזה הורדנו מהפיד את שני הפרקים הראשונים, שהיו עם איכות סאונד קצת פחות טובה ועסקו בנושאים קצת פחות נגישים. מה שלא יכולנו לדעת זה שנקבל מכם הרבה מאד הודעות על המחסור בפרקים האלה - ובקשות מפורשות להחזיר אותם לפיד! אז בעקבות דרישת הקהל, החלטנו להחזיר את הפרקים לפיד כפרקי בונוס. אם לא יצא לכם לשמוע, ובעצם גם אם כן, אנחנו בטוחים שתהנו מהם מאד. אז תודה על המשוב לכל המאזינים שפנו אלינו, והאזנה נעימה לכולכם!
בפרק השני של הפודקאסט ענינו על השאלה "מה אפשר לעשות כדי לא לאחר לעבודה?". גם חגי וגם אורן מביאים את התשובות שלהם מהעולם של מדע המורכבות: חגי מדבר על עיקרון ערימת החול, שמתייחס לקריטיות (criticality) במערכות מורכבות, וטוען שאיחור הוא באשמת המאחר. אורן מדבר על עיקרון הרבגוניות (diversity) וטוען שאיחור הוא דווקא באשמת סביבת העבודה. מי צודק? אתם תכריעו!

These time periods are seemingly incommensurate, but they're worth comparing to gain a perspective on the social effects of mass death.
