ROBERT D. KAPLAN NEW EDITION They Just Keep Coming |
| 一九八九年,柏林圍牆倒塌。是年仲冬,當全世界在圍牆瓦礫堆中手舞足蹈、歡欣慶祝時,身在科索沃的記者羅柏・卡普蘭,正親眼目睹塞爾維亞人與阿爾巴尼亞人之間的種族暴動。卡普蘭寫道:「未來舉世注目的焦點,不在於走向統一的德國,而在於四分五裂的南斯拉夫」。在南斯拉夫,卡普蘭看到民族國家瀕臨崩解,取而代之的,將是政治哲學家霍布斯設想中的叢林世界:黑幫械鬥、部落屠殺,以及意識形態所驅動的聖戰。想當然耳,卡普蘭是對的。 —— 美國中央情報局局長 波特・J・戈斯
從引爆第一次世界大戰的斐迪南大公刺殺案,到塞爾維亞、波士尼亞與克羅埃西亞的種族戰爭,巴爾幹半島向來是廿世紀火藥庫,恐怖主義與種族滅絕在此首次成為政治手段。本書曾獲《紐約時報》名列年度最佳圖書,《波士頓環球報》更盛讚為「迄今剖析巴爾幹半島最為深刻、切時的著作」,卡普蘭這本高瞻遠矚、引人入勝、甚至令人不寒而慄的政治遊記,儼然已為當代經典。 新版收錄羅柏・卡普蘭於九六至兩千年間撰寫之六篇巴爾幹半島相關評論,始自達頓協定(Dayton Peace Accords)生效,直至科索沃戰爭結束、前南斯拉夫總統史洛博丹・米洛塞維奇下台為止。 "In 1989, the Berlin Wall fell. That November, while the world danced in the rubble of the wall, a journalist named Robert Kaplan was in Kosovo watching a riot between ethnic Serbs and Albanians. The future, Kaplan wrote, was not in a reuniting Germany but in a fragmenting Yugoslavia. In Yugoslavia, Kaplan saw the impending collapse of nation states and the rise of a Hobbesian jungle of gang wars, tribal slaughter, and ideological jihads. Kaplan, of course, was right." ----Porter J. Goss, Director of Central
Intelligence
From the assassination that triggered World War I to the ethnic warfare in Serbia, Bosnia, and Croatia, the Balkans have been the crucible of the twentieth century, the place where terrorism and genocide first became tools of policy. Chosen as one of the Best Books of the Year by The New York Times, and greeted with critical acclaim as "the most insightful and timely work on the Balkans to date" (The Boston Globe), Kaplan's prescient, enthralling, and often chilling political travelogue is already a modern classic. This new edition includes six opinion pieces written by Robert Kaplan about the Balkans between l996 and 2000, beginning just after the implementation of the Dayton Peace Accords and ending after the conclusion of the Kosovo war, with the removal of Slobodan Milosevic from power. |
