2010br. L'impiego della bomba atomica ha segnato un punto di non ritorno, facendo di Hiroshima il simbolo del rischio di autodistruzione della specie umana. Solo nel 2010, per la prima volta dalla fine della Seconda guerra mondiale, un ambasciatore degli Stati Uniti ha presenziato all'annuale cerimonia di commemorazione. Un libro agile, di facile lettura, ma che non trascura nulla delle premesse, delle circostanze e delle gravi conseguenze di un atto che sino a oggi nessun paese ha osato replicare. La censura americana durante l'occupazione militare, l'autocensura dei politici giapponesi, la discriminazione nei confronti delle vittime (e tra le vittime), il ruolo del cinema, dell'arte e della letteratura, i libri di testo, la difficile memoria di un evento per cui si faticava a trovare un nome sono i momenti di una battaglia per imporre la propria interpretazione della storia.

1945Two copies of Politics. Age-toned pages. Each issue is around 30 pages and one has pencil notes and markings. "Politics, stylized as politics, was a journal founded and edited by Dwight Macdonald from 1944 to 1949. Macdonald had previously been editor at Partisan Review from 1937 to 1943, but after falling out with its publishers, quit to start politics as a rival publication, first on a monthly basis and then as a quarterly. politics published essays on politics and culture and included among its contributors James Agee, John Berryman, Bruno Bettelheim, Paul Goodman, C. Wright Mills, Mary McCarthy, Marianne Moore, Irving Howe, Daniel Bell, and Hannah Arendt. The journal reflected Macdonald's interest in European culture. He used politics to introduce US readers to the thinking of the French philosopher Simone Weil, publishing several articles by her, including "A Poem of Force", her reflections on the Iliad. He also printed work by Albert Camus. Another European, the Italian political and literary critic Nicola Chiaromonte, was also given space in the journal."
