What kind of country is America? Zachary Shore tackles this
polarizing question by spotlighting some of the most morally
muddled matters of WWII. Should Japanese Americans be moved from
the west coast to prevent sabotage? Should the German people be
made to starve as punishment for launching the war? Should America
drop atomic bombs to break Japan's will to fight? Surprisingly,
despite wartime anger, most Americans and key officials favored
mercy over revenge, yet a minority managed to push their punitive
policies through. After the war, by feeding the hungry, rebuilding
Western Europe and Japan, and airlifting supplies to a blockaded
Berlin, America strove to restore the country's humanity,
transforming its image in the eyes of the world. A compelling story
of the struggle over racism and revenge, This Is Not Who We Are
asks crucial questions about the nation's most agonizing divides.
