1.Between the World and Me BY TA-NEHISI COATES
《我和世界之間》，作者：塔-那西斯·科茨

???Recommendation 推薦詞
It is a riveting meditation on the state of race in America that has arrived at a tumultuous moment in America's history of racial strife.
在美國種族沖突出現前所未有的激烈動蕩的時刻，《我和世界之間》關于美國種族問題的闡釋是發人深省的。

What it does better than any other recent book is relentlessly drive home the point that "racism is a visceral experience..."To be black in the ghetto of Coates's youth "was to be naked before the elements of the world, before all the guns, fists, knives, crack, rape, and disease."
相較于其他新書，它更加殘酷地指出："種族主義是一種發自內心的體驗……"作為一名貧民窟的黑人，科茨的青春"在全世界面前變得赤裸裸，在槍支、拳頭、刀、爆炸、強奸和疾病面前手無寸鐵，毫無反擊之力"。

???Review 點評
A black man's stark, visceral experience of racism.
這本書是一名黑人對于種族主義發自肺腑的吶喊。

2.Black Flags: The Rise of ISIS BY JOBY WARRICK
《黑旗——伊斯蘭國的崛起》，作者：喬比·沃瑞克

???Recommendation 推薦詞
The Islamic State, whose radical Islamic warriors have inflicted their brutality across the globe from the Middle East to Paris, was founded as al-Qaeda in Iraq in 2004 by a Jordanian thug known by his nom de guerre, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

IJoby Warrick, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, explains the importance of this gangster and analyzes his continuing influence on the Islamic State long after his death in 2006.
普利策獲獎記者喬比.沃瑞闡釋了扎卡維的重要性，分析了這個死于2006年的暴徒對伊斯蘭國所產生的持續影響力。

???Review 點評
Joby Warrick shows in painful but compulsively readable detail how a series of mishaps and mistakes by the U.S. and Jordanian governments gave this unschooled hoodlum his start as a terrorist superstar and set the Middle East on a path of sectarian violence that has proved hard to contain.
作者用充滿痛苦但又引人入勝的筆觸，揭示了美國政府和約旦政府所犯下的一系列災難性錯誤，把一名天生的流氓造就為恐怖主義巨星，并使后來的中東陷于難以控制的宗派暴力事件當中。

3.The Book of Aron BY JIM SHEPARD
《阿倫的書》，作者：吉姆·謝巴德

???Recommendation 推薦詞

In the summer of 1942, German soldiers expelled almost 200 starving children from an orphanage in the Warsaw Ghetto and packed them into rail cars bound for Treblinka.
1942年夏，華沙猶太孤兒院里將近200位饑餓的兒童被德國士兵驅逐，裝進了開往特雷布林卡集中營的火車上。

Drawing on his imagination and dozens of historical sources, Shepard brings the Warsaw orphanage to life in this remarkable novel about a poor Polish boy and his friendship with the caretaker of the orphans, the pediatrician Janusz Korczak.
作者謝巴德發揮想象，結合大量史料，在這部著名的小說中再現了華沙孤兒院的生活，講述了一個貧窮的波蘭男孩和孤兒院看守、兒科醫生雅努什·科扎克之間的深厚友誼。

???Review 點評

Aron relays his world just as he experiencesthat his town slides into hell. Although relentless in its portrayal of systematic evil, "The Book of Aron" is nonetheless a story of such candor about the complexity of heroism that it challenges us to greater courage.
書中阿倫轉述的故事就仿佛是他的親身經歷，他所在的小鎮陷入地獄。雖然《阿倫的書》對制度性罪惡的刻畫冷酷無情，但它也是一個講述英雄主義復雜性的坦率故事，賦予我們更多勇氣。

4.Destiny and Power: The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush BY JON MEACHAM
《命運與權力：喬治·W·H·布什的美國奧德賽》，作者：喬恩·米查姆

???Recommendation 推薦詞

Jon Meacham's new biography of George H.W. Bush accomplishes a neat trick.
喬恩·米查姆的老布什傳是一個巧妙的設計。

In Meacham's telling, Bush indeed lacked an ideological vision, was as overmatched in domestic policy as he was masterful on the global stage, benefited from his family's influence, and remains overshadowed "by the myth of his predecessor and the drama of his sons ' political lives."
在米查姆的講述中，布什確實缺乏一種意識形態視野，他對國內政策的掌控能力遠遜于對國際事務的處理能力，他得益于來自家庭的影響，卻至今仍活在前任的神話以及兒子戲劇性政治生涯的陰影之中。

???Review 點評

What Meacham so skillfully adds to this understanding — through extraordinary detail, deft writing and, thanks to his access to Bush's diaries, an inner monologue of key moments in Bush's presidency.
米查姆的細節描寫卓越，寫作方法巧妙，又有幸接觸到了老布什日記，由此很好地把握了他在任期內關鍵時刻的內心活動。
