内容简介：
战争，是在一定的地理环境中进行的，其胜负在很大程度上受地理形势的影响。在大规模战争里，某个或某几个地区由于位置的重要，成为交战双方争夺的热点，它的得失对战局常常具有决定性作用，这种战略要地在军事地理学中被称作“枢纽地区”。
本书上起三代，下迄南宋，对三代之甘、管，秦汉之荥阳及敖仓，三国的合肥、濡须和汉中，北朝至唐中叶的河阳三城，南宋末年的襄阳等枢纽地区进行了细致探讨，并由此出发，对战争的策略、部署、路线等做了全面系统的研究。作者以历史地理学家之卓识洞见，论述历代将领之得失，探究战争胜负背后的成因。同时，书中还探索了枢纽地区的分布和变化问题，以中国历史发展脉络为主线，研讨各个时期兵家要地的转移情况，剖析其中的社会背景与原因。

改革开放以来，对中国古代军事地理枢纽的研究，一直受到学术界的重视，取得了不少成果。而近年最突出的，就是宋杰先生集二十年之力所撰成的《中国古代战争的地理枢纽》。该书洋洋六十万言，除“导言”“附录”“后记”外，共分为十七章，不仅详细论述了从夏商到南宋末年的军事地理枢纽，而且提出了许多独到见解，诚可谓中国古代军事地理研究的一部精品之作。

A stunning memoir of a mother and her daughter's survival in WWII and their subsequent lifelong struggle with faith In this captivating and elegantly illustrated graphic memoir, Miriam Katin retells the story of her and her mother's escape on foot from the Nazi invasion of Budapest. With her father off fighting for the Hungarian army and the German troops quickly approaching, Katin and her mother are forced to flee to the countryside after faking their deaths. Leaving behind all of their belongings and loved ones, and unable to tell anyone of their whereabouts, they disguise themselves as a Russian servant and illegitimate child, while literally staying a few steps ahead of the German soldiers. We Are on Our Own is a woman's attempt to rebuild her earliest childhood trauma in order to come to an understanding of her lifelong questioning of faith. Katin's faith is shaken as she wonders how God could create and tolerate such a wretched world, a world of fear and hiding, bargaining and theft, betrayal and abuse. The complex and horrific experiences on the run are difficult for a child to understand, and as a child, Katin saw them with the simple longing, sadness, and curiosity she felt when her dog ran away or a stranger made her mother cry. Katin's ensuing lifelong struggle with faith is depicted throughout the book in beautiful full-color sequences. We Are on Our Own is the first full-length graphic novel by Katin, at the age of sixty-three.
