A French-language historical work marking the fiftieth anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, this volume examines the event through the relationship between Japan and the United States. It places Hiroshima within the closing phase of World War II and considers how the bombing has been remembered, interpreted, and contested in the decades that followed. The title’s focus on Japan and America suggests an emphasis on national memory, diplomatic context, and the political meanings attached to nuclear warfare after 1945. Published by Autrement as a substantial 238-page paperback, the book is best understood as historical nonfiction for readers interested in the Hiroshima bombing, postwar memory, and the long international consequences of the atomic age.
