AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN
Book ID/图书代码： 01079020C00279
English Summary/英文概要： At the Going Down of the Sun is a comprehensive account of British campaigns in Africa during the Great War (1914-18). Author Rob Gladding is a former serviceman in both the army and navy, and his first-hand experience of the armed forces, alongside his commitment to and academic achievements in history, are evident in his writing which details places, dates, battles and units in impressive detail.After setting the scene with the assassination of Austria’s Archduke Franz Ferdinand that led to the outbreak of World War I, the book gives an account of British military operations up until 1920, including the British conquest of German East Africa on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro between 1914 and 1917, the Senussi Campaign in North Africa and the Sudan between 1915 and 1917, and the Guerrilla warfare conflicts that erupted in German East Africa (present day Tanzania, Burundi and Rwanda) in 1916.The reader gains a clear, unadorned account of soldiers’ hardships: the burden that lay on these men to change history despite the fact that most of them had little influence over the conflicts they were caught up in; and their courage to fight, die and be wounded for what they believed was right.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《太阳下山的时候》是一本关于英国在二战期间（1914-1918）在非洲的战役的全面记述。作家罗布•格拉丁曾在陆军和海军服役，他对军队的亲身经历，以及他在历史上的献身精神和学术成就，他详细描述了地点、日期、时间和令人印象深刻的战斗和单位细节。之后这本书以奥地利大公弗兰兹•费迪南德遇刺事件为背景，讲述了直到1920年英国的军事行动，包括1914年至1917年间英国在乞力马扎罗山山坡上征服了德国东非，1915年至1917年间在北非和苏丹的塞努西战役，以及1916年在德国东非（今坦桑尼亚、布隆迪和卢旺达）爆发的游击战争冲突，对士兵苦难的朴实无华的描述：尽管他们中的大多数人对他们卷入的冲突几乎没有影响，但他们仍肩负着改变历史的重担；他们为自己认为正确的事情而战斗、牺牲和受伤的勇气。（WYL)
