“Nagasaki: The Last Bomb”

by Alex Wellerstein, published August 7th, 2015

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)
