Description

Continuously in demand since its first, prize-winning edition was published in 1973, this is the classic history of Hiroshima and the origins of the arms race, from the development of the American atomic bomb to the decision to use it against Japan and the beginnings of US atomic diplomacy toward the Soviet Union. In this new edition, the author evaluates the lengthening trail of new evidence concerning these often emotionally debated subjects. He also considers the impact on American democracy of one of the most insidious legacies of Hiroshima: the political control of historical interpretation.
