Summary, etc The international history of the development of the atomic bomb, its first use against Japan, and the Cold War nuclear arms race that it gave rise to. - ;The US decision to drop an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945 remains one of the most controversial events of the twentieth century. However, the controversy over the rights and wrongs of dropping the bomb has tended to obscure a number of fundamental and sobering truths about the development of this fearsome weapon. The principle of killing thousands of enemy civilians from the air was already well established by 1945 and had been practised on numerous occasions by both sides during the Second World War. Moreover, the bomb dropped on Hiroshima was conceived and built by an international community of scientists, not just by the Americans. Other nations (including Japan and Germany) were also developing atomic bombs in the first half of the 1940s, albeit hapharzardly. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine anycombatant nation foregoing the use of the bomb during the war had it been able to obtain one. The international team of scientists organized by the Americans just got there first. As this fascinating new history shows, the bomb dropped by a US pilot that hot August morning in 1945 was in many ways the world's offspring, in both a technological and a moral sense. And it was the world that would have to face its consequences, strategically, diplomatically, and culturally, in the years ahead. - ;OUP should use Hiroshima as a paperback; it deserves the widest readership - Ian Neary, Times Literary Supplement;Rotter is not concerned exclusively with science. He is as much interested in the erosion of moral inhibitions on bombing civilians that took place during the first half of the twentieth century. - Ian Neary, Times Literary Supplement,;An absorbing multi-layered history... It deserves the widest readership. - Ian Neary, Times Literary Supplement.
