A STUDY OF THE HEPHTHALITE HISTORY是同作者《嚈哒史研究》一书的英文版,是作者研究嚈哒史的专著。 嚈哒初是北亚一个弱小的游牧部族,四世纪七十年代迁往中亚,以后日益强大起来,开始了大规模的征服。极盛时期的嚈哒国幅员辽阔,除领有大部分中亚地区外,还一度占有波斯和印度的大片领土。从五世纪三十年代末嚈哒人占领今阿富汗北部,直至六世纪五十年代末嚈哒国家被突厥和波斯联盟灭亡,这一百二十年左右的时间在中亚史上称为嚈哒时代。嚈哒人的活动对中亚、北亚、南亚、西亚乃至欧洲的历史都产生了深远的影响。因此,嚈哒史研究是古代中亚史研究一个不可缺少的环节,也是中国西域史、波斯古代史和印度古代史研究的重要组成部分。也就是说,嚈哒史研究有其不容忽视的世界史意义。自十九世纪中叶起,各国学者纷纷发表有关嚈哒史研究的论文。20

Shortly before noon on October 28, 1728, General Yue Zhongqi,the most powerful military and civilian official in northwestChina, was en route to his headquarters. Suddenly, out of thecrowd, a stranger ran toward Yue and passed him an envelope-anenvelope containing details of a treasonous plot to overthrow theManchu government. This thrilling story of a conspiracy against the Qing dynasty in1728 is a captivating tale of intrigue and a fascinatingexploration of what it means to rule and be ruled. Once again,Jonathan Spence has created a vivid portrait of the rich culturethat surrounds a most dramatic moment in Chinese history.

A remarkable and engrossing account of medieval England's epicconflict with France. From 1337 to 1453 England repeatedly invaded France on thepretext that her kings had a right to the French throne. Though itwas a small, poor country, England for most of those "hundredyears" won the battles, sacked the towns and castles, and dominatedthe war. The protagonists of the Hundred Years War are among themost colorful in European history: Edward III, the Black Prince;Henry V, who was later immortalized by Shakespeare; the splendidbut inept John II, who died a prisoner in London; Charles V, whovery nearly overcame England; and the enigmatic Charles VII, who atlast drove the English out. Desmond Seward's critically-acclaimedaccount of the Hundred Years War brings to life all of theintrigue, beauty, and royal to-the-death-fighting of that legendarycentury-long conflict. "Mr. Seward shows us all the famous sights of those roaring times. . . and illuminates them with an easy scholarship, a nice senseof
For the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, The Library ofAmerica re-issues the memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant and WilliamTecumseh Sherman in a handsome, newly designed case. An ailingGrant wrote his Personal Memoirs to secure his family'sfuture. In doing so, the Civil War's greatest general won himself aunique place in American letters. John Keegan has called it"perhaps the most revelatory autobiography of high command to existin any language." The Library of America's edition of Grant's Memoirs includes 175 of his letters to Lincoln, Sherman, andhis wife, Julia, among others. Hailed as a prophet of modern warand condemned as a harbinger of modern barbarism, William T.Sherman is the most controversial general of the Civil War. "War iscruelty, and you cannot refine it," he wrote in fury to theConfederate mayor of Atlanta, and his memoir is filled with dozensof such wartime exchanges and a fascinating account of the famousmarch through Georgia and the Carolinas.
A vivid and engrossing history of naval warfare from the HoratioNelson era through the War of 1812, by the "best naval historian ofhis generation." --John Keegan
Starred Review. The transfer of power from the British Empire to the new nations of India and Pakistan in the summer of 1947 was one of history's great, and tragic, epics: 400 million people won independence, and perhaps as many as one million died in sectarian violence among Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs. In her scintillating debut, British author von Tunzelmann keeps one eye on the big picture, but foregrounds the personalities and relationships of the main political leaders—larger-than-life figures whom she cuts down to size. She portrays Gandhi as both awe inspiring and, with his antisex campaigns and inflexible moralism, an exasperating eccentric. British viceroy Louis Dickie Mountbatten comes off as a clumsy diplomat dithering over flag designs while his partition plan teetered on the brink of disaster. Meanwhile, his glamorous, omnicompetent wife, Edwina, looks after refugees and carries on an affair with the handsome, stalwart Indian statesman Nehru. Von Tunzelmann's wit is cruel—Gandhi... wanted to s
Hailed on publication in 1957 as "probably the only book published this year that will outlive the century," this is a brilliant of the idea that there are fixed laws in history and that human beings are able to predict them.
Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empirecompresses thirteen turbulent centuries into an epic narrative shotthrough with insight, irony and incisive character analysis.Sceptical about Christianity, sympathetic to the barbarian invadersand the Byzantine Empire, constantly aware of how political leadersoften achieve the exact opposite of what they intend, Gibbon wasboth alert to the broad pattern of events and significant revealingdetails.
Taken from Appian's Roman History, the five books collectedhere form the sole surviving continuous historical narrative of theera between 133-35 BC - a time of anarchy and instability for theRoman Empire. A masterly account of a turbulent epoch, theydescribe the Catiline conspiracy; the rise and fall of the FirstTriumvirate; the murder of Julius Caesar; the formation of theSecond Triumvirate by Antonius, Octavian, and Lepidus; and brutalcivil war. A compelling depiction of the decline of the Roman stateinto brutality and violence, The Civil Wars portrays politicaldiscontent, selfishness and the struggle for power - a strugglethat was to culminate in a titanic battle for mastery over theRoman Empire, and the defeat of Antony and Cleopatra by Octavian in31 BC
