As President Trump’s National Security Advisor, John Bolton spent many of his 453 days in the room where it happened, and the facts speak for themselves.

The result is a White House memoir that is the most comprehensive and substantial account of the Trump Administration, and one of the few to date by a top-level official. With almost daily access to the President, John Bolton has produced a precise rendering of his days in and around the Oval Office. What Bolton saw astonished him: a President for whom getting reelected was the only thing that mattered, even if it meant endangering or weakening the nation. “I am hard-pressed to identify any significant Trump decision during my tenure that wasn’t driven by reelection calculations,” he writes. In fact, he argues that the House committed impeachment malpractice by keeping their prosecution focused narrowly on Ukraine when Trump’s Ukraine-like transgressions existed across the full range of his foreign policy—and Bolton documents exactly what those were, and attempts by him and others in the Administration to raise alarms about them.

He shows a President addicted to chaos, who embraced our enemies and spurned our friends, and was deeply suspicious of his own government. In Bolton’s telling, all this helped put Trump on the bizarre road to impeachment. “The differences between this presidency and previous ones I had served were stunning,” writes Bolton, who worked for Reagan, Bush 41, and Bush 43. He discovered a President who thought foreign policy is like closing a real estate deal—about personal relationships, made-for-TV showmanship, and advancing his own interests. As a result, the US lost an opportunity to confront its deepening threats, and in cases like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea ended up in a more vulnerable place.

Bolton’s account starts with his long march to the West Wing as Trump and others woo him for the National Security job. The minute he lands, he has to deal with Syria’s chemical attack on the city of Douma, and the crises after that never stop. As he writes in the opening pages, “If you don’t like turmoil, uncertainty, and risk—all the while being constantly overwhelmed with information, decisions to be made, and sheer amount of work—and enlivened by international and domestic personality and ego conflicts beyond description, try something else.”

The turmoil, conflicts, and egos are all there—from the upheaval in Venezuela, to the erratic and manipulative moves of North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, to the showdowns at the G7 summits, the calculated warmongering by Iran, the crazy plan to bring the Taliban to Camp David, and the placating of an authoritarian China that ultimately exposed the world to its lethal lies. But this seasoned public servant also has a great eye for the Washington inside game, and his story is full of wit and wry humor about how he saw it played.

【内容介绍】
作者试图写一部不那么卷帙浩繁的世界历史，概述从第一批人类离开非洲到全球定居以来的历史，把人类历史的不同部分汇集成一个相互联系的统一叙述。他在开篇坦言，有些宏大主题只能匆匆地一笔带过，就像火车疾驰而过时窗外的惊鸿一瞥。如此在世界历史中穿行，一些最迷人的景色得以呈现：人类在地球上的生产生活演变，技术与技能的变革对人类的影响，宗教文化对人类文明的塑造，地理自然环境对文明兴衰的影响，世界各个不同区域和人群、不同的文明是如何联系起来的。
在这个日渐变小的世界里，思想、商品与人类可以轻松地跨过一万年以前无法逾越的海上屏障。但在人类文明早期，一系列岛屿像小河中的踏脚石一样，每一次迁徙可能都会花上数万年的时间，使未知的海洋和陆地逐步向人类敞开了怀抱。当人们第一次迈开脚步走向海洋的时候，它的意义不下于第一次登陆月球。
与世界相遇的同时，我们也正在创造着世界，因此也能够聚集自己的生活经验，去看生活于不同时代的人：他们在自己的土地上筚路蓝缕、胼手砥足，怀抱梦想与希望，追求自由并努力创造美好的生活：当旭日在地平线上缓缓升起时，人们开始动起来，有的给火添柴，有的奶孩子，有的准备出发去收集野果或猎捕野生动物，把兽皮的背面刮擦干净并做成衣服，或者把石头一点点凿成工具。百万年之后，同样的情景仍然在数以千计的地方上演着，仍然有人在谋划一天的生活和工作。

《台北人》是1971年集结数篇60年代白先勇创作的，并于《现代文学》发表的14篇短篇小说而出版的单行本。入选20世纪中文小说100强（第7位，是仍在世作家作品的最高排名），是一部深具复杂性的短篇小说集，描写了台湾社会各阶层人物在新旧时代交替中的人生转变，具有历史兴衰和人世沧桑感。不但小说之幅面广，使读者看到社会之“众生相”，更重要的，由于主题命意之一再重复，与互相陪衬辅佐，使读者能更进一步深入了解作品之含义，并得以一窥隐藏在作品内的作者之人生观与宇宙观。
小说中所谓“台北人”,实质上是沦落台北的大陆客。“客们”朝思暮想远在大陆的亲人,怀恋往日的辉煌与风光,在今不如昔的对比中形成一股浓郁的独特的“大陆情结”。白先勇的“台北人”较集中地体现了这种有异于以往文学主题的情结。
《台北人》之人物，可以说囊括了台北都市社会之各阶层：从年迈挺拔的儒将朴公（《梁父吟》）到退休了的女仆顺恩嫂（《思旧赋》），从上流社会的窦夫人（《游园惊梦》）到下流社会的“总司令”（《孤恋花》）。有知识分子，如《冬夜》之余嵚磊教授；有商人，如《花桥荣记》之老板娘；有帮佣工人，如《那血一般红的杜鹃花》之王雄；有军队里的人，如《岁除》之赖鸣升；有社交界名女，如尹雪艳；有低级舞女，如金大班。这些“大”人物、“中”人物与“小”人物，来自中国大陆不同的省籍或都市（上海、南京、四川、湖南、桂林、北平等），他们贫富悬殊，行业各异，但没有一个不背负着一段沉重的、斩不断的往事。而这份“过去”，这份“记忆”，或多或少与中华民国成立到大陆沦陷那段“忧患重重的时代”，有直接的关系。

1985年高雄的夏天，充满着玉兰花的香味，也洋溢着青春的躁动。尚未开放的台湾校园，教官一人独大。没有民主与自由可言的学校，压制不住王心仁（凤小岳 饰）逆反的心，写藏头诗，策划集体抗议舞会。和他一起无法无天的还有陈忠良（张孝全 饰）和林美宝（桂纶镁 饰）。经常腻在一起的三人，爱情也在悄无声息地滋长。木讷的忠良读不懂美宝的暗示；心仁则积极地追求美宝；而最早交女友的忠良却困惑了。
1990年的台北。风起云涌的学潮运动，少不了阿仁的身影，而阿良则做着阿仁最好的观众。和阿仁成为男女朋友的美宝则时不时从家乡来台北，三人依旧亲密无间。一场盛大的学生集会引起了警方的注意，也冲垮了三人的维系。阿良选择跨出了城墙；阿仁抵不住外在诱惑；将这一切看在眼里的美宝，已无法选择无视。踏入社会，多年不联系的他们再次有了交集。曾经的好友恋人，现在各自有了新的身份加诸身上。为爱自讨苦吃的他们最终能否重拾勇气，回到1985年那个如梦如幻的家乡。

作者通过对马来西亚农民反抗的日常形式——偷懒、装糊涂、开小差、假装顺从、偷盗、装傻卖呆、诽谤、纵火、暗中破坏等的探究,揭示出农民与榨取他们的劳动、食物、税收、租金和利益者之间的持续不断的斗争的社会学根源。作者认为,农民利用心照不宣的理解和非正式的网络,以低姿态的反抗技术进行自卫性的消耗战,用坚定强韧的努力对抗无法抗拒的不平等,以避免公开反抗的集体风险。

"The whole world is watching!" chanted the demonstrators in the Chicago streets in 1968, as the TV cameras beamed images of police cracking heads into homes everywhere. In this classic book, originally published in 1980, acclaimed media critic Todd Gitlin first scrutinizes major news coverage in the early days of the antiwar movement. Drawing on his own experiences (he was president of the Students for a Democratic Society in 1963-64) and on interviews with key activists and news reporters, he shows in detail how the media first ignore new political developments, then select and emphasize aspects of the story that treat movements as oddities. He then demonstrates how the media glare made leaders into celebrities and estranged them from their movement base; how it inflated the importance of revolutionary rhetoric, destabilizing the movement, then promoted "moderate" alternatives--all the while spreading the antiwar message. Finally, Gitlin draws together a theory of news coverage as a form of anti-democratic social management--which he sees at work also in media treatment of the anti-nuclear and other later movements.
Updated for 2003 with a new preface,
is a subtle and sensitive book, true to the passions and ironic reversals of its subject, and filled with provocative insights that apply to the media's relationship with all activist movements.

Despite the criticisms that have been leveled at news organizations in recent years and the many difficulties they face, journalism matters. It matters, argues Schudson, because it orients people daily in the complex and changing worlds in which they live. It matters because it offers a fact-centered, documented approach to pertinent public issues. It matters because it keeps watch on the powerful, especially those in government, and can press upon them unpleasant truths to which they must respond. Corruption is stemmed, unwise initiatives stopped, public danger averted because of what journalists do. This book challenges journalists to think hard about what they really do. It challenges skeptical news audiences to be mindful not only of media bias but also of their own biases and how these can distort their perception. And it holds out hope that journalism will be for years to come a path for ambitious, curious young people who love words or pictures or numbers and want to use them to improve the public conversation in familiar ways or in ways yet to be imagined.

A war between China and the US would be catastrophic, deadly, and destructive. Unfortunately, it is no longer unthinkable. 

The relationship between the US and China, the world’s two superpowers, is peculiarly volatile. It rests on a seismic fault—of cultural misunderstanding, historical grievance, and ideological incompatibility. No other nations are so quick to offend and be offended. Their militaries play a dangerous game of chicken, corporations steal intellectual property, intelligence satellites peer, and AI technicians plot. The capacity for either country to cross a fatal line grows daily. 

Kevin Rudd, a former Australian prime minister who has studied, lived in, and worked with China for more than forty years, is one of the very few people who can offer real insight into the mindsets of the leadership whose judgment will determine if a war will be fought. The Avoidable War demystifies the actions of both sides, explaining and translating them for the benefit of the other. Geopolitical disaster is still avoidable, but only if these two giants can find a way to coexist without betraying their core interests through what Rudd calls “managed strategic competition.” Should they fail, down that path lies the possibility of a war that could rewrite the future of both countries, and the world.

For more than a century, no US adversary or coalition of adversaries - not Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, or the Soviet Union - has ever reached sixty percent of US GDP. China is the sole exception, and it is fast emerging into a global superpower that could rival, if not eclipse, the United States. What does China want, does it have a grand strategy to achieve it, and what should the United States do about it? In The Long Game, Rush Doshi draws from a rich base of Chinese primary sources, including decades worth of party documents, leaked materials, memoirs by party leaders, and a careful analysis of China's conduct to provide a history of China's grand strategy since the end of the Cold War. Taking readers behind the Party's closed doors, he uncovers Beijing's long, methodical game to displace America from its hegemonic position in both the East Asia regional and global orders through three sequential "strategies of displacement." Beginning in the 1980s, China focused for two decades on "hiding capabilities and biding time." After the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, it became more assertive regionally, following a policy of "actively accomplishing something." Finally, in the aftermath populist elections of 2016, China shifted to an even more aggressive strategy for undermining US hegemony, adopting the phrase "great changes unseen in century." After charting how China's long game has evolved, Doshi offers a comprehensive yet asymmetric plan for an effective US response. Ironically, his proposed approach takes a page from Beijing's own strategic playbook to undermine China's ambitions and strengthen American order without competing dollar-for-dollar, ship-for-ship, or loan-for-loan.
