Description
Hiroshima in History and Memory by Michael J. Hogan explores the complex story of Hiroshima from the American decision to drop the atomic bomb to its recent commemoration. This collection of essays brings together diplomatic historians to examine how the Japanese and American people have remembered Hiroshima since World War II. The book delves into the construction of an official memory of Hiroshima, the challenges posed by alternative or counter-memories, and the tension between history and memory in this pivotal event. By uniting up-to-date scholarship with recent interest in memory, Hogan sheds new light on a topic that continues to be relevant today. Through its diverse range of perspectives, Hiroshima in History and Memory offers a nuanced understanding of one of the most significant events of the 20th century.
