Description

In this collection of essays, prominent historians survey the Hiroshima story from the American decision to drop the first atomic bomb to the recent controversy over the Enola Gay exhibit in Washington, DC.

The first essay surveys the literature on the atomic bombing of Japan, while the second and third essays evaluate the decisions that led to that event.

The remaining essays discuss how the Japanese and American people have remembered Hiroshima in the years since the end of World War II.

They emphasize the construction of an official memory of Hiroshima, the challenge posed by alternative or counter-memories, and the tension between history and memory in the Hiroshima story.

The collection thus unites scholarship by diplomatic historians with the interest in memory that has emerged as part of cultural history.
