What kind of history Americans should read, see, or fund is no longer merely a matter of professional interest to teachers, historians, and museum curators. Everywhere now, history is increasingly being held hostage, but to what end and why? In \u003ci\u003eHistory Wars\u003c\/i\u003e, eight prominent historians consider the angry swirl of emotions that now surrounds public memory. Included are trenchant essays by Paul Boyer, John W. Dower, Tom Engelhardt, Richard H. Kohn, Edward Linenthal, Micahel S. Sherry, Marilyn B. Young, and Mike Wallace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“In their illuminating explorations of contemporary American struggles with Hiroshima and Nagasaki, these essays contribute to much-needed nuclear-age wisdom.” —\u003ci\u003eRobert Jay Lifton\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Informative and compelling.” —\u003ci\u003eEric Foner\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A stimulating and revelatory work.” —\u003ci\u003eStuds Terkel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780805043877\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Holt Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40593686266062,"sku":"9780805043877","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_7b656ce5-c2ec-48b6-bf2d-6feecf4d9713.jpg?v=1637790999","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780805043877","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
