Description:

The author, director of the Center of Medical Law and Ethics at King's College, London, describes the atrocities of the twentieth century such as the Holocaust, Hiroshima, the Gulag, Cambodia, Yugoslavia, Rwanda, and others. In the chapter titled “Hiroshima,” he examines whether there was an alternative way to end the World War II, introduces A-bomb survivors' voices, and concludes that since the end of the Cold War, the nuclear proliferation keeps the danger alive in a different form. 筆者はロンドンのキングズカレッジにある医事法と医療倫理センター所長。ホロコースト、ヒロシマ、ソ連強制収容所、カンボジア、ユーゴスラビア、ルワンダなどで起きた20世紀の残虐行為をテーマとしている。「ヒロシマ」と題した章では、第2次世界大戦を終結させる別の方法はなかったのかという命題に関して、被爆者の声を紹介し、冷戦後も核の拡散という形で核戦争の脅威が存在することを指摘。
