Media Reviews
The atomic bombings, because of the sheer scale of their destruction and the long-term effects on the human mind and body, compelled the survivors to live as hibakusha throughout their entire lives. The essays compiled in this book eloquently describe their struggle to come to terms with their mangled lives and analyze how the wider world tried to remember, and sometimes forget, the human cost of the bombing. This is a compassionate, timely, and extremely readable book that reminds readers that it is our responsibility to pass on the memories of the atomic bombing so that there shall be ‘no more Hiroshima and Nagasaki.’ -- Fumiko Nishizaki, University of Tokyo
The cultural, political, and ethical aftershocks of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in August 1945 are still being felt, perhaps more insistently now than they have for years. As this collection of essays that probe the transnational fault lines of nuclear destruction make clear, the atomic bomb is very much 'unfinished'—both a haunting reminder of historical destruction and a disturbing specter of potential catastrophe to come. The Unfinished Atomic Bomb is important reading, not merely for those wanting to keep abreast of recent developments in ‘bomb scholarship,’ but also for those interested in one of the most compelling issues of our time. -- Robin Gerster, Monash University
“The collection of scholarly essays in The Unfinished Atomic Bomb, edited by three Australian scholars, shows that the fi eld of atomic-bombing studies is alive and well.” -- Chad R. Diehl, University of Virginia, Assistant Professor * The Journal of Japanese Studies *
