This is just a quick place-holding note (a longer post on this will follow next week): I have an article up on the New Yorker’s Elements blog about the bombing of Nagasaki, which took place 70 years ago this Sunday. Check it out: Nagasaki: The Last Bomb.
And a few other media appearances by yours truly from this crazy, busy week:
- “Why did the US choose Hiroshima?” (NPR’s Morning Edition)
- “Five ways that nuclear weapons could still be used” (The Guardian)
- “What it would look like if the Hiroshima bomb hit your city” (Washington Post)
- “How the Hiroshima bombing is taught around the world” (Washington Post)
