"Hiroshima's Shadow is easily the best overview of the most debated event in our stormy history and, best of all, every voice is heard." ~(Gore Vidal) ~ "The atomic bombing of Japan powerfully illustrates the dictum of William Faulkner that the past is never dead, it is not even past. This superb collection of contemporary documents and subsequent commentary and debate will be invaluable for all those who want to learn and teach about the many meanings of the central, terrifying political! military cultural event of this century." ~ (Gaddis Smith, Larned Professor of History, Yale University.) "Hiroshima's Shadow is a deeply impressive book. It is evident that the editors' intention is to present as diverse a perspective as possible on the atomic bombings in as factually accurate and interpretively plausible frameworks as possible. This volume accomplishes the task admirably ~ The America that comes through in these pages is a society that is open to free inquiry, that dares to question officially sanctioned views of the past, and that sets high standards of scholarly excellence. "~ (Akint Iriye, Professor of Historv, Harvard University ). "In 37 years of military service, which included extensive involvement in planning and training for nuclear war, I was impelled to conclude that nothing could ever justify using these barbaric indiscriminate devices for any military purpose. Hiroshima's Shadow is the ultimate confirmation of the truth that no civilized nation could ever be exonerated from crimes against humanity if it threatened or resorted to the use of nuclear explosives in warfare. Because there is only one way to insure that atom bombs never fall again, this book provides a compelling case for the abolition of all nuclear weapons forever. "~ (Eugene J. Carroll, Jr., Rear Admiral US Navy (Ret.) ). READERS OF THIS COLLECTION of essays will be compelled to reevaluate their understanding of the history and politics underlying the decision to use atomic weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Kai Bird and Lawrence Lifschultz draw together a distinguished group of international historians and writers (including six Nobel Prize recipients) whose careful research has pierced the rationales for the atomic bombing presented by the Truman administration following the annihilation of the civilian populations in both cities. Hiroshima's Shadow carefully retraces the steps leading to the decision to use atomic weapons. Important elements of this research became an integral part of the planned 1995 Enola Gay exhibit at the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum. The exhibit was first censored and then ultimately canceled despite the condemnation of the Organization of American Historians. Hiroshima's Sbadow contains essays and memoirs by Gar Alperovitz, Barton Bernstein, Wilfred Burchett, Albert Camus, Norman Cousins, John Dower, Albert Einstein, Paul Fussell, Mahatma Gandhi, William Lanouette, Mary McCarthy, Dwight Macdonald, Lewis Mumford, Reinhold Niebuhr, Kenzaburo Oe, John Rawls, Bertrand Russell, Murray Sayle, Martin Sherwin, and Henry Stimson, among others. …
