中文概要: “他们打我，”炮兵军官低声说，“我的牙齿被打碎，用电电击我。他们想让我承认一件我从未做过的事。 斯文·哈塞尔(Sven Hassel)和他的战友们正在芬兰前线作战，面临着他们所知的最残酷的北极冬季。 但如果他们幸存下来，他们将被送往托高监狱——希特勒刑罚体系的中心——在那里，逃兵、罪犯和任何表现出反纳粹情绪的人都将被监禁和惩罚。 这可能意味着逮捕、军事法庭和处决。也可能意味着酷刑和饥饿。 《军事法庭》是斯文·哈塞尔最黑暗的小说，也是对纳粹政权残酷强加于本国人民的深入洞察。(Sandy)

英文简介: It’s war on the Finnish front for Porta, Tiny, Barcelona, and The Legionnaire—and it’s hellish, with ice, blood, cold, and wolves in addition to the enemy. It barely matters who wins, as long as you survive. But even survival can be dangerous in an army where the Fuhrer’s fanatics are rife. To endure the Russian tanks, the machine guns, and the flame-throwers could mean shipment to the infamous and brutal Torgau Prison where conditions are almost more savage than the battlefield. To stay alive through the fighting might mean arrest, court martial, and—in the end—a cold grey day facing the execution squad.

英文简介: Tensions between Siberia and Moscow are running high, but the sudden disappearance of leading top-tier Siberian politicians and oil executives, sparks open outrage in the vast lands, east of the Ural. Terrified that Siberia will sever their ties and deprive Russia of its most important oil source, Moscow turns to a new supplier in the South Atlantic: the Falkland Islands. In an undercover mission, they persuade Argentina to invade the islands again. In return for oil rights, Moscow’s hunter-killer submarine, Viper 157, will take out the British aircraft carrier arriving to recapture the islands, leaving Argentina free to claim the ’malvinas.’ The United States are furious at this act of international piracy - and the fact that their largest oil giant owns the very same oil rights. Under the stern eye of Admiral Morgan, the navy Seals bring in the legendary Commander, Rick Hunter. Their mission: to hammer Argentina’s military and free the Falklands. For the fabled Hunter, the assignment has struck close to home. His English brother-in-law and an SAS special forces team are trapped on East Falkland, on the run from an Argentinean shoot-to-kill man-hunt, out of contact...

英文简介: "Quang X. Pham’s memoir on parallel tracks-his life, and his family’s, in Vietnam and then America-is a story of hardship, separation, and loss, but ultimately also of courage, loyalty, patriotism and achievement, an inspiring human story movingly told." --Lewis Sorley, Author of "A Better War: The Unexamined Victories and Final Tragedy of America’s Last Years in Vietnam" "A Sense of Duty is a poignant story of two distant wars, service by father to South Vietnam and Marine son to the United States in the Persian Gulf, but ultimately it is a son’s tribute to his father and a way of saying "thank you" to all in his father’s generation who served honorably to defend freedom and whose story has yet to be told." --Larry Berman, author of No Peace, No Honor: Nixon, Kissinger and Betrayal in Vietnam In his singular memoir, Quang X. Pham examines a forgotten, unexplored tract of that purgatory of the American Dream known as Vietnam. His surprising account of family and war, sacrifice and redemption is essential for anyone who would seek to understand the legacy of that lost conflict and the generation-spanning turmoil to come in Iraq. Congratulations on a fine book.

英文简介: Na noite de 2 de agosto de 1939, um jovem e promissor antropólogo americano, Buell Quain, se matou, aos 27 anos, de forma violenta, enquanto tentava voltar para a civilização, vindo de uma aldeia indígena no interior do Brasil. O caso se tornou um tabu para a antropologia brasileira, foi logo esquecido e permaneceu em grande parte desconhecido do público.
Sessenta e dois anos depois, ao tomar conhecimento da história por acaso, num artigo de jornal, o narrador deste livro é levado a investigar de maneira obsessiva e inexplicada as razões do suicídio do antropólogo. Em sua busca obstinada pelas cartas do morto ou pelo testamento de um engenheiro que ficara amigo do antropólogo nos seus últimos meses de vida, o narrador é guiado por razões pessoais que não serão reveladas até o final do romance, mas que dizem respeito à sua experiência de criança na selva, à história e à morte de seu próprio pai. Nove noites narra a descida ao coração das trevas empreendida pelo jovem expoente da antropologia americana, colega de Lévi-Strauss e aluno dileto de Ruth Benedict, às vésperas da Segunda Guerra. A história é contada em dois tempos, na tribo dos índios krahô (interior do sertão brasileiro) e na combinação progressiva entre a busca pelo testamento do engenheiro e a pesquisa que o narrador vai fazendo em arquivos, atrás das cartas do antropólogo e dos que o conheceram na época. Para escrever o livro, Bernardo Carvalho travou contato com os Krahô, no Estado do Tocantins, e foi aos Estados Unidos em busca de documentos e pessoas que pudessem saber algo sobre o antropólogo.
A história de Buell Quain revela as contradições e os desejos de um homem sozinho numa terra estranha, confrontado com os seus próprios limites e com a alteridade mais absoluta, numa narrativa que faz referências aos romances de Joseph Conrad e aos relatos do escritor inglês Bruce Chatwin.

英文简介: Jeff Shaara has enthralled readers with his New York Times bestselling novels set during the Civil War and the American Revolution. Now the acclaimed author turns to World War I, bringing to life the sweeping, emotional story of the war that devastated a generation and established America as a world power.
Spring 1916: the horror of a stalemate on Europe’s western front. France and Great Britain are on one side of the barbed wire, a fierce German army is on the other. Shaara opens the window onto the otherworldly tableau of trench warfare as seen through the eyes of a typical British soldier who experiences the bizarre and the horrible–a “Tommy” whose innocent youth is cast into the hell of a terrifying war.
In the skies, meanwhile, technology has provided a devastating new tool, the aeroplane, and with it a different kind of hero emerges–the flying ace. Soaring high above the chaos on the ground, these solitary knights duel in the splendor and terror of the skies, their courage and steel tested with every flight.
As the conflict stretches into its third year, a neutral America is goaded into war, its reluctant president, Woodrow Wilson, finally accepting the repeated challenges to his stance of nonalignment. Yet the Americans are woefully unprepared and ill equipped to enter a war that has become worldwide in scope. The responsibility is placed on the shoulders of General John “Blackjack” Pershing, and by mid-1917 the first wave of the American Expeditionary Force arrives in Europe. Encouraged by the bold spirit and strength of the untested Americans, the world waits to see if the tide of war can finally be turned.
From Blackjack Pershing to the Marine in the trenches, from the Red Baron to the American pilots of the Lafayette Escadrille, To the Last Man is written with the moving vividness and accuracy that characterizes all of Shaara’s work. This spellbinding new novel carries readers–the way only Shaara can–to the heart of one of the greatest conflicts in human history, and puts them face-to-face with the characters who made a lasting impact on the world.

英文简介: The world’s most renowned volcanologist mysteriously disappears after a lecture on geophysical catastrophes. Two policemen are found brutally executed on the steps of London’s nearby Albert Hall. Then, Mount St Helen’s suddenly and inexplicably erupts in Washington State, leaving a wake of death and destruction. The new, liberal administration in the White House ignores these apparent coincidences, but the retired Admiral Morgan, former National Security Adviser to the President, and Lt. Jimmy Ramshawe are shocked into action. Only a missile, launched from a nuclear submarine, could have had the power to blow up the volcano. Is this the fabled HAMAS terrorist, Major Ray Kerman, at work again? Their suspicions are quickly confirmed by a HAMAS ultimatum: Total military evacuation of the Middle East or the terrible threat of a mega-tsunami - the greatest tidal wave in 4000 years of world history. Both men know immediately what that means: the volcano Cumbre Vieja, glowering over the island La Palma in the Canaries. A nuclear missile, such as Kerman’s brand-new, state-of-the-art Scimitar SL-2, launched straight at the heart of the volcano would explode the mountain into the Atlantic ocean and send a tidal wave towards the East Coast of the United States, at 400 miles an hour, with waves 150 feet high. Resolutely, the Pentagon refuses to buckle and Admiral Morgan is swept back into the White House to implement Operation High Tide - a desperate race to evacuate the East Coast and locate the nuclear submarine before it launches its deadly weapon.
