巴巴拉·W.塔奇曼
  巴巴拉·W.塔奇曼(Barbara W. Tuchman)
  
  她寫出了20世紀最好的歷史作品。以《八月炮火》和《史迪威與美國在中國的經驗》兩次獲得普利策奬。從1956年到1988年,她共出版了10部作品:
  
  《聖經與劍》(Bible and Sword, 1956)、《齊默爾曼電報》(The Zimmermann Telegram, 1958)、《八月炮火》(The Guns of August, 1962)、《驕傲的城堡》(The Proud Tower, 1966)、《史迪威與美國在中國的經驗》(Stilwell and the American Experience in China, 1971)、《來自中國的函件》(Notes from China, 1972)、《遙遠的鏡子》(A Distant Mirror, 1978)、《實踐歷史》(Practicing History, 1981)、《“荒唐”進行麯》(The March of Folly, 1984)、《第一次敬禮》(The First Salute, 1988)。
  
  我的目標是要使歷史作品令讀者着迷並且像我那樣對題材激動不已、這樣的前提是首先令自己着迷並有一種要傳達魔咒的難以抗拒的衝動。


  Barbara Wertheim Tuchman (/ˈtʌkmən/; January 30, 1912 – February 6, 1989) was an American historian and author. She became widely known first for The Guns of August (later August 1914), a best-selling history of the prelude to and the first month of World War I, which won the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction in 1963.
  
  Tuchman focused on writing popular history. Her clear, dramatic storytelling covered topics as diverse as the 14th century and World War I, and sold millions of copies.
  
  Life and careerTuchman was the daughter of the banker Maurice Wertheim. She was a first cousin of New York district attorney Robert M. Morgenthau, a niece of Henry Morgenthau, Jr. and granddaughter of Henry Morgenthau Sr., Woodrow Wilson's Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. She received her Bachelor of Arts from Radcliffe College in 1933.
  
  She married Lester R. Tuchman, an internist, medical researcher and professor of clinical medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, in 1939; they had three daughters (one of whom is Jessica Mathews).
  
  From 1934 to 1935 she worked as a research assistant at the Institute of Pacific Relations in New York and Tokyo, and then began a career as a journalist before turning to books. As a journalist she was the editorial assistant for The Nation and an American correspondent for the New Statesman in London, the Far East News Desk, and the Office of War Information (1944–45).
  
  Tuchman was a trustee of Radcliffe College and a lecturer at Harvard University, University of California, and the U.S. Naval War College. A tower of Currier House, a residential division of Harvard College was named in her honor.
  
   Tuchman's LawDisaster is rarely as pervasive as it seems from recorded accounts. The fact of being on the record makes it appear continuous and ubiquitous whereas it is more likely to have been sporadic both in time and place. Besides, persistence of the normal is usually greater than the effect of the disturbance, as we know from our own times. After absorbing the news of today, one expects to face a world consisting entirely of strikes, crimes, power failures, broken water mains, stalled trains, school shutdowns, muggers, drug addicts, neo-Nazis, and rapists. The fact is that one can come home in the evening, on a lucky day, without having encountered more than one or two of these phenomena. This has led me to formulate Tuchman's Law, as follows: "The fact of being reported multiplies the apparent extent of any deplorable development by five- to tenfold (or any figure the reader would care to supply)."
  
   Awards and honorsTuchman twice won the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction, first for The Guns of August in 1963, and again for Stilwell and the American Experience in China in 1972. She won a U.S. National Book Award in History[a] for the first paperback edition of A Distant Mirror in 1980.
  
  Also in 1980 the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) selected Tuchman for the Jefferson Lecture, the U.S. federal government's highest honor for achievement in the humanities. Tuchman's lecture was entitled "Mankind's Better Moments."
