The essays address various aspects of a particular event of focussed attention, specifically a plan by the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum to put on an exhibit in 1995 featuring the Enola Gay which discussed the end of World War II as well as the beginning of the nuclear age. This book was assigned for my required general historiography class, and I found it extremely readable and very interesting. Published by Henry Holt and Company, LLC in 1996 under the imprint of Owl Books. History Wars: The Enola Gay and other battles for the American past.Įdited by Edward T.
