飛碟聯播網《飛碟早餐 唐湘龍時間》2024.08.26 週一閱讀單元 燎原出版編輯 查理 《銀翼狂潮：美國如何在中途島贏得太平洋戰爭》 ※主題：《銀翼狂潮：美國如何在中途島贏得太平洋戰爭》/ 布蘭登‧西姆斯、史蒂文‧麥格雷戈 / 燎原出版 ※來賓：燎原出版編輯 查理 ◎節目介紹： 「除非美國對其海軍力量的持續衰退有所覺醒，否則它可能會面對另一次珍珠港--但不保證會有另一次中途島。」令人震驚、具有決定性意義的中途島戰役可以說是第二次世界大戰期間，太平洋戰場上最關鍵的海戰。著名海戰史作家華特勞德將美國在中途島的勝利稱為「幸運女神」的眷顧，因為美國戰勝了在數量上佔優勢且作戰經驗豐富的日本聯合艦隊。著名歷史學家布蘭登‧西姆斯和歷史學家兼退役軍官史蒂夫•麥格雷戈則表明，事情並不是這樣，取勝的關鍵絕非單憑運氣。 兩位作者主張工業活力和創新力量才是美國贏得太平洋戰爭的核心。工程師、戰略決策者、飛行員的努力，將日本辛苦建立起來，投入來稱霸東亞的空母機動艦隊，以及大國崛起的希望一起沉沒在太平洋的深淵。「五分鐘！有誰曾想像過，戰役的潮流會在如此短暫的時間裡完全逆轉？」就連曾在偷襲珍珠港之後叱咤風雲的淵田美津雄大佐，多年之後都依然對那關鍵的五分鐘感到不可思議與困惑。 《銀翼狂潮》為中途島提供了最具有啟示意義的歷史新頁——是美國創造了屬於自己的勝利時刻。作者重新檢視美日雙方的文獻與回憶錄，除了傳統的戰爭過程分析，說明一個人員的養成過程對他日後面對嚴峻情境會有怎樣的表現具決定性的影響，日後陸續發表的回憶錄與史料同時也改變了人們解讀這場戰役的決勝關鍵，而不僅僅是「運氣」那麼簡單。 同時，作者從戰史的角度提出警訊，再次面對一次發生在太平洋上的戰事，21世紀的美國海軍，是否還具備80年前的各種致勝因素，能夠再次打敗威脅她的挑戰者？ ◎作者介紹：布蘭登‧西姆斯（Brendan Simms） 《漫長的午後》的作者，該書對1815年滑鐵盧戰役期間，聖樹籬農場爆發的攻防戰進行了戲劇性描述。2019年，他出版了廣受好評的傳記《希特勒》。他最近期的著作是與拉德曼合著的《希特勒的美國博奕》。 ◎作者介紹：史蒂文‧麥格雷戈（Steven McGregor） 曾在美國陸軍101空降師擔任步兵軍官時，被派往遜尼派死亡三角地帶值勤。在該處，他獲頒戰鬥步兵章及紫心勳章。軍旅結束後，他移居英格蘭，並完成了歷史學的研究生課程。這是他的第一本著作。 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7 1941 remains etched in public memory as the turning point of WW2. But in fact, it was Hitler's declaration of war on the United States – four days later on December 11, 1941 – that changed everything.In this episode, Professor of International Relations at Cambridge University Brendan Simms tells Dan the story of those five unsettling days. Churchill did not sleep “the sleep of the saved and thankful” after the attack, as he later claimed. Japan's leaders were unsure whether Hitler would honour a private commitment to declare war. Roosevelt knew that many Americans didn't want their country to entangle itself in a conflict with the Third Reich as well as Japan. In the end, it was Hitler's decision that ended the uncertainty, bringing the US into the European war and transforming world history.

The book "Hitler's American Gamble" recounts the five days in 1941 that upended everything. Starting with Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th and ending with Hitler's declaration of war on the United States on December 11th, British historians Brendan Simms and Charlie Laderman trace the developments during the five days in real-time and reveal how America's engagement in World War Two was far from inevitable.   Learn more about your ad choices.

During one specific week in December in 1941, a series of events and calculations led to Adolf Hitler's disastrous decision to declare war on the United States, putting the conflict on the eventual path toward the outcome we now regard with familiarity. The sequence of events leading from the bombing of Pearl Harbor by Japan to the entry of the United States into the war were of course very far from clear cut or certain at the time, and instead played out with the high-tension drama of a Hollywood thriller. The story of what happened during these four days is examined and retold with unusually gripping detail and surprising revelations by historians Brendan Simms and Charlie Laderman in their excellent new book, "Hitler's American Gamble: Pearl Harbor and Germany's March to Global War." Simms and Laderman's book takes readers inside the blow-by-blow strategic thinking by Hitler and his advisors that led to this momentous and ultimately catastrophic decision with extraordinary and engaging detail, as well as the reaction to events in the Roosevelt White House. Hitler's American Gamble invites readers to imagine a broad range of potential alternative outcomes which could have taken place during this week, many of which were just avoided by the slimmest of margins. As news of the attack in the Pacific spread, leaders among the various countries did not all have the same access to information or understanding of the meaning of the events - and in the end, it would be these asymmetries that would prove critical.

What drove Hitler to declare war on the United States after Pearl Harbor, and what, if anything, can that fateful decision to kick off a truly world war tell us about today's dangerous moment? Brendan Simms and Charlie Laderman join host Richard Aldous to discuss their new book, Hitler's American Gamble: Pearl Harbor and Germany's March to Global War.

The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7 1941 remains etched in public memory as the turning point of WW2. But in fact, it was Hitler's declaration of war on the United States – four days later on December 11, 1941 – that changed everything. In this episode, Professor of International Relations at Cambridge University Brendan Simms tells Dan the story of those five unsettling days.

Brendan Simms ist ein irischer Historiker und Professor für die Geschichte der internationalen Beziehungen am Centre of International Studies der Universität Cambridge. Im DNEWS24-Podcast spricht er über sein neues Buch "Hitler - eine globale Biografie". Mehr Informationen zu dem Buch finden Sie in DNEWS24.de.

In this latest event recording, Professor Brendan Simms of the University of Cambridge discusses his new biography of Adolf Hitler, entitled Hitler: A Global Biography. He argues that contrary to past accounts, Hitler was driven by a desire to confront the United States and capitalism more broadly.

Brendan Simms is one of Britain’s leading historians. Professor of the History of International Relations at Peterhouse College, Cambridge, Brendan has published extensively on Britain’s role in the world, European grand strategy, and the rise of fascism in the C20th. His books are widely acclaimed and include Europe: The Battle for Supremacy, Britain’s Europe: A Thousand Years of Conflict and Cooperation, and his latest, Hitler: Only the World was Enough.Our Deputy Editor, Frank Lawton, sat down with Brendan for discussion that ranged from the Holy Roman Empire to the future of Europe (with the odd trip down a Brexit byway for good measure).But first, Frank began by asking if there was such a thing as ‘historical thinking’ and whether it was of any use to policy makers.

Every generation returns to the titanic heroes and villains of the 20th century. And every generation produces a new set of biographies--often immense--in an effort to understand the role of that eras main figures. In the past three years, three important new books have reassessed Hitler's life, beliefs and actions. Two of the authors, Volker Ulrich and Peter Longerich, are historians of Germany who are German. The third, our guest for today's interview, is British. In his new book Hitler: A Global Biography (Basic Books, 2019), Brendan Simms  offers us a different Hitler, one much more focused on global capitalism and on the Anglo-American world than either Ulrich of Longerich.  Simms argues that fears that Germany would lose the economic and demographic competition with Britain and especially the US sat at the heart of Hitler's world view. Anti-Semitism, fears of German particularism, scientific understandings of race, all of these appear in Simms' portrait of Hitler. But they are joined by a constant fear that the American system was simultaneously seductive and corrupting, and that Germans and Germany would not be able to resist. This, Simms argues, drove many of Hitler's decisions, especially in the 1920s and 30s. We had some technological problems getting connected for the interview and had only 30 minutes to talk. But Simms does a marvelous job using that time to lay out the broad outlines of his argument and to sketch in some of his main lines of defense. It's a fascinating interview. Not everyone will agree with his conclusions. But at the least the book will prompt a stimulating debate about the role of the west in HItler's thinking.

Every generation returns to the titanic heroes and villains of the 20th century. And every generation produces a new set of biographies--often immense--in an effort to understand the role of that eras main figures. In the past three years, three important new books have reassessed Hitler's life, beliefs and actions. Two of the authors, Volker Ulrich and Peter Longerich, are historians of Germany who are German. The third, our guest for today's interview, is British. In his new book Hitler: A Global Biography (Basic Books, 2019), Brendan Simms  offers us a different Hitler, one much more focused on global capitalism and on the Anglo-American world than either Ulrich of Longerich.  Simms argues that fears that Germany would lose the economic and demographic competition with Britain and especially the US sat at the heart of Hitler's world view. Anti-Semitism, fears of German particularism, scientific understandings of race, all of these appear in Simms' portrait of Hitler. But they are joined by a constant fear that the American system was simultaneously seductive and corrupting, and that Germans and Germany would not be able to resist. This, Simms argues, drove many of Hitler's decisions, especially in the 1920s and 30s. We had some technological problems getting connected for the interview and had only 30 minutes to talk.
