Krátky popis
A remarkable account of the terrible climax of the Second World War
in Asia, published to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the
Hiroshima bombing. In the closing months of the Second World War
hundreds of thousands of Japanese, mostly civilians, died in a
final outburst of violence from the air. American planes were
beginning to run low on plausible targets when it was decided to
use two atomic weapons in a final, terrible flourish to try to end
the war.Richard Overy’s remarkable new book rethinks how we should
regard this last stage of the war and the role of the bombing. This
book explores the way in which the willingness to kill civilians
and destroy cities became normalized in the course of a horrific
war as moral concerns were blunted and scientists, airmen, and
politicians followed a strategy of mass destruction they would
never have endorsed before the war began. But it also engages with
the new scholarship that shows how complex the effort to end the
war was in Japan, where ‘surrender’ was entirely foreign to
Japanese culture.
