Hiroshima's Lessons 75 Years Later

Professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, John Saxe-Fernández, recounts the attack on Hiroshima with the first atomic bomb. For Saxe-Fernández, one of the lessons of this fact is that it served to demonstrate the military power of the United States, before the start of a new stage in world history. The historian maintains that an attack of this magnitude was not necessary because the war in the Pacific had already ended.
