简介

"This quite extraordinary book--impossible to put down, impossible to forget--may be the most compelling argument for peace ever assembled. Nicholson Baker displays in astonishing, fascinating detail mankind’s unstoppable descent into the madness of war---slowed only occasionally, but then invariably most movingly, by the still, small voices of the sane and the wise."--SIMON WINCHESTER,author of The Man Who Loved Cbina and The Professor and the Madman

内容推荐

Bestselling author Nicholson Baker, recognized as one of the most dexterous and talented writers in America today, has created a compelling work of nonfiction bound to provoke discussion and controversy--a wide-ranging, astonishingly fresh perspective on the political and social landscape that gave rise to World War II.

Human Smoke delivers a closely textured, deeply moving indictment of the treasured myths that have romanticized much of the 1930s and ’40s. Incorporating meticulous research and welldocumented sources--including newspaper and magazine articles, radio speeches, memoirs, and diaries--the book juxtaposes hundreds of interrelated moments of decision, brutally, suffering, and mercy. Vivid gfimpses of political leaders and their dissenters illuminate and examine the gradual, horrifying advance toward overt global war and Holocaust.

Praised by critics and readers alike for his exquisitely observant eye and deft, inimitable prose, Baker has assembled a narrative within Human Smoke that unfolds gracefully, tragically, and persuasively. This is an unforgettable book that makes a profound impact on our perceptions of historical events and mourns the unthinkable loss humanity has borne at its own hand.
