Description:

Essays written by John W. Dower, Monika Braw, Lisa Yoneyama, Rinjiro Sodei and others provide details on the nuclear debate in the U.S. and Japan over the half-century since the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Authors argue against the official stories about the nuclear weapons issues and explain that commemoration of the A-bombings has been silenced. They explain this by discussing postwar history from the censorship during the occupation days, to the debate of the Air and Space Museum exhibit commemorating the 50th anniversary of the bombings. ジョン・ダワー、モニカ・ブラウ、ヨネヤマ・リサ、袖井林二郎らが、半世紀にわたる米国と日本での核問題に関する論争をまとめている。公的に発表される意見に対し、原爆投下を記念する時には沈黙を強いられてきた歴史があったことを、占領下時代の検閲から50周年の航空宇宙博物館での展示問題までを取り上げて論じている。
