Description:

This is a collection of papers given at the Conference on “The Pacific War: A Reappraisal after Fifty Years” held at the Imperial War Museum, London, in 1991, including “Hiroshima: A Strategy of Shock,” written by Lawrence Freeman and Saki Dockrill. In the paper, the authors view dropping of the atomic bombs as the end of World War II rather than the first shot in the Cold War, maintaining that the bombing succeeded in the American aim of shocking Japan into surrender. 1991年に英国の帝国戦争博物館で開催された会議「太平洋戦争: 50年後の再検討」で発表された論文集。論文「広島 : ショックを与える方略」は、広島と長崎の原爆投下は冷戦の最初の一撃ではなく、日本にショックを与え、世界大戦を終結させたことに意義があったと述べている。
