A multifaceted portrait of the Hiroshima bombing and its many legaciesOn August 6, 1945, in the waning days of World War II, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The city's destruction stands as a powerful symbol of nuclear annihilation, but it has also shaped how we think about war and peace, the past and "This impressively broad and richly interdisciplinary book explores the evolving legacies of Hiroshima across the globe and over time. It is essential reading for those who study our nuclear past, present, and future."-Elizabeth N. Saunders, Georgetown University
