It’s been 73 years since the Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and, a few days later, on Nagasaki, Japan. We’ve assembled some of the most important pieces the Bulletin has published over the years to help remind us of the devastating effects of the Japan bombings and implications for today’s fast-changing nuclear reality.
A few titles from the Hiroshima/Nagasaki collection:
Why the United States did not demonstrate the Bomb’s power, ahead of Hiroshima
Frank von Hippel, Fumihiko Yoshida
Hiroshima and the Iran agreement
Rachel Bronson
The weight of a butterfly
Emily Strasser
A letter from Hiroshima
Yoshimaro Mori
Let Hiroshima guide us back to nuclear basics
Kennette Benedict
Six weeks after Nagasaki
John Mecklin
