战争谣言：经典越南回忆录（40 周年纪念版） Tapa blanda – 1 Agosto 2017
战争的谣言
四十周年纪念版
“一部非凡而奇妙的作品。” ——纽约时报
40 周年纪念版，2017 年 8 月
经典的越战回忆录，与四十年前一样重要。
1965 年 3 月，海军陆战队中尉 Philip J. Caputo 带着第一支部署到越南的地面作战部队在岘港登陆。十六个月后，在现代历史上最丑陋的战争之一中服役后，他回到了家乡——身体健康但精神萎靡不振，他年轻时的理想主义一去不复返了。
战争谣言不仅仅是一个士兵的故事。它于 1977 年出版，打破了美国对被派往越南丛林作战的士兵的命运漠不关心的态度。从那时起，它不仅成为越南战争的基本文本，而且成为历史上战争文学的著名经典，正如卡普托所解释的那样，“人们在战争中所做的事情以及战争对人类所做的事情”男人。”
战争谣言在“越南战争”中出现，这部雄心勃勃的 10 集纪录片系列由肯·伯恩斯和林恩·诺维克执导，于 2017 年 9 月 17 日开始在 PBS 播出。观看 30 分钟的预览。
A Rumor of War
FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY EDITION
“A singular and marvelous work.” —The New York Times
40th Anniversary Edition, August 2017
The classic Vietnam memoir, as relevant today as it was four decades ago.
In March of 1965, Marine Lieutenant Philip J. Caputo landed at Da Nang with the first ground combat unit deployed to Vietnam. Sixteen months later, having served on the line in one of modern history’s ugliest wars, he returned home—physically whole but emotionally wasted, his youthful idealism forever gone.
A Rumor of War is more than one soldier’s story. Upon its publication in 1977, it shattered America’s indifference to the fate of the men sent to fight in the jungles of Vietnam. In the years since then, it has become not only a basic text on the Vietnam War but also a renowned classic in the literature of wars throughout history and, as Caputo explains, of “the things men do in war and the things war does to men.”
A Rumor of War is featured in “The Vietnam War,” the ambitious 10-part documentary series by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, airing on PBS beginning on September 17, 2017. View the 30-minute preview.
