说好话、说坏话的都有。有一本书,叫《The Real Lincoln》,收罗了许多对林肯不利的材料。以前我在塞上,应一票友的要求大致介绍过 amazon 网站上对该书的评论,我把它贴在这里:
翻译我是实在的不在行,只好讲个大概。那书评大致是说:
多数美国人把林肯当成历史上最伟大的总统,他的传奇 --- 一个奴隶解放者
的神话,在成百上千部书籍中流传着;他的殉难成了全美国的纪念日,他的英
雄事迹被广泛颂扬。然而,如果你所了解的关于林肯的一切大抵都是错误的,
你有何感受?如果,林肯其实并非一个为寻求奴隶解放之道的美国英雄,而是
精于算计、为建造一个与大不列颠相竞争的帝国,竟不惜挑动了一场血腥战争
的政客,你又作何感想?在《真实的林肯》一书中,作者托马斯·迪劳仑左揭
示了林肯的一些不常被历史书籍记载、并被大量的传奇所掩饰的真实面目。
通过广泛的研究和对原始文献严谨的考察,迪劳仑左生动地描绘了这个美国第
十六位总统的政客生涯 --- 这位总统致力于将一个地方分权十分严重的松散
政府变革为高度中央集权化的政府。阻碍这场变革的是南方,及其独立的各州,
它们对中央政府的抵制和对无壁垒的自由贸易的信仰。为了达到预期的目标,
林肯推翻了宪法,蹂躏各州的自治权,发动了一场毁灭性的内战。这场内战的
后遗症挥之不去,迄今还在对我们的心灵制造创伤。根据这本史料确凿的书,
600,000 多名美国军人并非光荣地牺牲于一场为结束奴隶制度的战争,而是死
于一项可疑的议程,这项议程不过是亵渎了州自治的宪法条款,将该条款让位
于联邦政府至高无上的权力,用联邦政府的虎钳勒紧了共和国。阅读此书你将
了解到林肯的一面,这一面在学校里你可能永远也学不到;此书剥开了神话传
说的迷雾,展示一场血腥的、也许是毫无必要的战争的根源。
书评的原文是:
A New Look at Abraham Lincoln, His Agenda, and an Unnecessary War
Most Americans consider Abraham Lincoln to be the greatest president in history. His legend as the Great Emancipator has grown to mythic proportions as hundreds of books, a national holiday, and a monument in Washington, D.C., extol his heroism and martyrdom. But what if most everything you knew about Lincoln were false? What if, instead of an American hero who sought to free the slaves, Lincoln were in fact a calculating politician who waged the bloodiest war in american history in order to build an empire that rivaled Great Britain's? In The Real Lincoln, author Thomas J. DiLorenzo uncovers a side of Lincoln not told in many history books and overshadowed by the immense Lincoln legend.
Through extensive research and meticulous documentation, DiLorenzo portrays the sixteenth president as a man who devoted his political career to revolutionizing the American form of government from one that was very limited in scope and highly decentralized—as the Founding Fathers intended—to a highly centralized, activist state. Standing in his way, however, was the South, with its independent states, its resistance to the national government, and its reliance on unfettered free trade. To accomplish his goals, Lincoln subverted the Constitution, trampled states' rights, and launched a devastating Civil War, whose wounds haunt us still. According to this provacative book, 600,000 American soldiers did not die for the honorable cause of ending slavery but for the dubious agenda of sacrificing the independence of the states to the supremacy of the federal government, which has been tightening its vise grip on our republic to this very day.
You will discover a side of Lincoln that you were probably never taugh in school—a side tha calls into question the very myths that surround him and helps explain the true origins of a bloody, and perhaps, unnecessary war.
"A devastating critique of America's most famous president."
