What book has had the most influence on you?

哪本书对你的影响最大？

When I was in my early 20s a friend sent me a book by a historian Robert Conquest, The Great Terrorone—one of the first attempts to write a history of the Stalin regime. My dad was a WWII vet. I had a grown up learning about WWII, but I did not understand who Stalin was and what he stood for. The Great Terror changed the way I thought about a lot of things.

在我20岁出头的时候，一位朋友给我寄了本历史作家罗伯特•康科斯特写的《The Great Terrorone》，这是首批描述斯大林统治时期历史的书籍之一。我父亲是二战退伍老兵。在成长过程中我了解了不少有关二战的历史，但是我并不清楚斯大林的为人以及他所代表的一切。《The Great Terror》改变了我对很多事情的看法。

What's one leadership book everyone should read?

你认为有关领导力方面人人必读的书是哪本？

There are so many. In addition to my mother's book, Churchill's Marlborough: His Life and Times. It's about Churchill's ancestor who has to build a coalition against the French, who had conquered most of Europe. It's Churchill's best book, which is saying something. A great leader writing about a great leader.

太多了。除了我母亲的书之外，还有丘吉尔的著作《马尔堡：他的人生和时代》。该书讲述了丘吉尔的祖先建立反法联盟的故事，当时法国人占领了欧洲大部分领土。这是丘吉尔最好的一本书，而且该书也说明，伟大的领袖的笔下也将诞生伟大的领袖。
