In its diversity of perspectives, The Unfinished Atomic Bomb:
Shadows and Reflections is testament to the ways in which
contemplations of the A-bomb are endlessly shifting, rarely fixed
on the same point or perspective. The compilation of this book is
significant in this regard, offering Japanese, American,
Australian, and European perspectives. In doing so, the essays here
represent a complex series of interpretations of the bombing of
Hiroshima, and its implications both for history, and for the
present day. From Kuznick's extensive biographical account of the
Hiroshima bomb pilot, Paul Tibbets, and contentious questions about
the moral and strategic efficacy of dropping the A-bomb and how
that has resonated through time, to Jacobs' reflections on the
different ways in which Hiroshima and its memorialization are
experienced today, each chapter considers how this moment in time
emerges, persistently, in public and cultural consciousness. The
discussions here are often difficult, sometimes controversial, and
at times oppositional, reflecting the characteristics of A-bomb
scholarship more broadly. The aim is to explore the various ways in
which Hiroshima is remembered, but also to consider the ongoing
legacy and impact of atomic warfare, the reverberations of which
remain powerfully felt.
