Taking the example of the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima as a case in
point, Francis Winters analyzes the ethics of warfare,
demonstrating how the examples of World War II hold relevance to
the contemporary world. The volume examines the ethics of Japan's
refusal to surrender and seeks to balance the verdict of
responsibility for Hiroshima by extending the analysis to the
ethics of the end of the war. It also illustrates how two displays
of American naval and munitions power had an impact on Japan
comparable to the September 11, 2001 assaults on America. Linking
his study with two contemporary films on Iwo Jima, the author
illustrates how the 1940s were an era of costly triumph that can
still inspire national pride in American citizens. Unique in
concept and approach, this volume will have relevance to scholars
interested in both historical and contemporary politics, US-Japan
relations as well as foreign policy and the ethics of warfare.
