By emphasising the role of nuclear issues, After Hiroshima,
published in 2010, provides an original history of American policy
in Asia between the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan and the
escalation of the Vietnam War. Drawing on a wide range of
documentary evidence, Matthew Jones charts the development of
American nuclear strategy and the foreign policy problems it
raised, as the United States both confronted China and attempted to
win the friendship of an Asia emerging from colonial domination. In
underlining American perceptions that Asian peoples saw the
possible repeat use of nuclear weapons as a manifestation of
Western attitudes of 'white superiority', he offers new insights
into the links between racial sensitivities and the conduct of US
policy, and a fresh interpretation of the transition in American
strategy from massive retaliation to flexible response in the era
spanned by the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
