"The Age of Hiroshima is a unique and innovative collection of
original articles that together brilliantly make the point that the
atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki created a new
international order with new dangers and new ways of thinking.
There is no better text to help students understand the profound
influence of nuclear weapons on the global environment. It should
be required reading in every history and political science
curriculum."—Martin J. Sherwin, Pulitzer Prize–winning historian,
author of A World Destroyed: Hiroshima and Its Legacies
"This important book deftly examines the wide range of meanings
attached to the atomic destruction of Hiroshima in August 1945.
Gordin and Ikenberry bring together some of the very best scholars
writing about nuclear weapons and nuclear energy today."—Scott D.
Sagan, author of The Limits of Safety: Organizations, Accidents,
and Nuclear Weapons
"This impressively broad and richly interdisciplinary book explores
the evolving legacies of Hiroshima across the globe and over time.
It is essential reading for those who study our nuclear past,
present, and future."—Elizabeth N. Saunders, Georgetown University
