En savoir plus sur le livre
The victors' grip on history is always hard to break. Millions of people still believe the atomic bombs were dropped to 'save' lives. The history of the Second World War and the events that created it are infested with many other myths. How are we to discover why civilian populations are bombed in Baghdad, Bosnia or Chechnya if we can't know what really happened fifty years ago? The fiftieth anniversary of the war's end may be the last chance to find out before the myths solidify as history. The plane that dropped the bomb that ashed Hiroshima was named after the pilot's mother. Enola Gay Tibbets must have known something. She called her son 'Warfield'. There's a lot more to it - but it's that kind of book.
