Abstract: | Dr Gwyn McClelland’s review of Lesley Blume’s Fallout describes how the US government sought to cover up the horrific effects of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Blume tells us the story of journalist John Hersey’s scoop in the New Yorker in August 1946, which signalled the beginning of a propaganda contest about the morality of the bombings that continues today. | Publication Type: | Review | Source of Publication: | Australian Policy and History, p. 1-6 | Publisher: | Australian Policy and History Network | Place of Publication: | Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 210302 Asian History 210312 North American History |
