帝国的铸就（1861—1871）：改革三巨人与他们塑造的世界
(u. S.) Michael Belland
The reforms carried out by Lincoln, Bismarck and Alexander II in their respective countries from 1861 to 1871 constitute one of the most remarkable chapters in the annals of human freedom and witnessed the emergence of a new philosophy of terror and power. Michael Belland astutely extracts this important slice of time from history. He used his solid historical knowledge to understand the internal connections between the three reforms, and used his skillful writing style to show the arduous reform process of the three leaders despite internal and external troubles. The revolutions in the United States, Germany, and Russia were all carried out in the name of freedom, but in completely different ways: Lincoln wanted to give the United States a "new life of freedom," Bismarck promoted power with "iron and blood," and Alexander II implemented changes "from top to bottom."
