Book and Movie Reviews

 

 

 

 

 

"The art of not reading is a very important one. It consists in not taking an interest in whatever may be engaging the attention of the general public at any particular time. When some political or ecclesiastical pamphlet, or novel, or poem is making a great commotion, you should remember that he who writes for fools always finds a large public. - A precondition for reading good books is not reading bad ones: for life is short."

... Arthur Schopenhauer, Parerga and Paralipomena

  30. The Mushrooming Cloud: Hiroshima's Shadow, edited by Kai Bird and Lawrence Lifschultz; and Fallout, by Paul Boyer, reviewed by H. Jack Geiger, The Nation. Discusses the difficulties that America has encountered in coming to grips with its decision to use the "ultimate weapon" on civilian targets, killing hundreds of thousands horribly. The reactions encountered by revisionist historians here bear a marked though muted resemblance to the virulent opposition encountered by holocaust revisionists. An eye-opening look at how we chose to end our "good war," and the skewed mirror in which we prefer to view ourselves as the moral example to the world.
