worshipgeek reviewed Hiroshima, Nagasaki by Paul Ham
5 stars
I read this after an ethics class asked if the bombing of Hiroshima was consistent with a just war ethic. I think by the end, I was struck by how much even 60 years later, we (Americans) are fed propaganda about the reasoning behind the bombing of Hiroshima. This book is filled to the brim with primary sourcing, so I really don't feel like Ham was trying to just feed propaganda the other direction, but rather carefully built his case.
