  • Nuclear Weapons, J. Robert Oppenheimer, and the Cold War

    Gregg Herken, John Earl Haynes et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cold War Studies2024

    This forum contains three detailed analyses of the film Oppenheimer (2023), an eponymous dramatic production directed by Christopher Nolan about the physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and his role in overseeing the Manhattan Project, the secret U.S. wartime effort to build a nuclear bomb. Oppenheimer was hugely successful at the box office and earned critical acclaim, but experts on various aspects of U.S. national security policy during the early C…

  • Considering John Lewis Gaddis’s Kennan Biography

    Barton J BernsteinARTICLERevue européenne des sciences…2014

    Kennan, Gaddis et Bernstein: une introduction Si les divisions disciplinaires ou une absence de curiosité pour l’historiographie de la Guerre froide ont tenu nombre de lecteurs de cette revue éloignés des travaux et de l’action de Barton J. Bernstein, John L. Gaddis et George F. Kennan, ces propos liminaires entendent réduire cette distance. Pour ce faire, ils saisissent les enjeux transdisciplinaires du débat que nous poursuivons en publiant cet…

    Nine experts on Cold War history offer commentaries about John Lewis Gaddis's Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of George F. Kennan, the first head of the U.S. State Department's Policy Planning Staff. The commentators come from several countries and offer a wide range of perspectives about Gaddis's George F. Kennan: An American Life, published by Penguin Books in 2011. Although most of the commentators express highly favorable assessments of the …

  • Reconsidering “Invasion Most Costly”

    Open AccessBarton J BernsteinARTICLEPeace & Change1999Citada por: 2

    This is a critique of an article in the popular military magazine U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings (August 1995) by journalist/historians Norman Polmar and Thomas Allen. Those two coauthors argued for high casualty numbers in the November 1945 invasion of Japan in order to justify the atomic bombings. Because their article is severely flawed, because it appeared in a popular military journal, because it won a prize and is likely to be regarded as…

  • Reconsidering Truman's claim of ‘half a million American lives’ saved by the atomic bomb

    Barton J BernsteinARTICLEJournal of Strategic Studies1999Referencias: 13

    This essay, based on substantial archival research, critically examines President Harry S. Truman's often‐cited post‐World War II claim that he had received pre‐Hiroshima counsel in 1945 that the invasion(s) of Japan could cost ‘half a million American lives’. This essay concludes that there is no 1945 archival evidence supporting Truman's postwar contention, and that there is substantial evidence undercutting his claim. Moreover, in view of the …

  • American memory and the A‐Bomb

    Open AccessBarton J BernsteinARTICLEPeace Review1996Referencias: 1

    War, more than perhaps any other form of human activity or nation‐state behavior, too easily lends itself to very different images and conceptions: heroism on behalf of principles, self‐sacrifice for others, brutalization of self and brutality toward others, and killing with gusto and out of “necessity.”

    In the late autumn and early winter of 1946–47, more than a year after the atomic bombings of Japan, as the Baruch Plan for international control of atomic energy was going down to defeat in the nascent United Nations, two influential articles appeared in respected national magazines justifying the 1945 attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In the December 1946 Atlantic Monthly, physicist Karl T. Compton, MIT's president and a wartime atomic-energy …

  • Commentary

    Barton J BernsteinARTICLEDiplomatic History1993

    Jones and Woods have usefully surveyed some recent scholarship on U.S. foreign policy and the early Cold War in Europe and the Near East. In defining their enterprise, they chose to omit Asia, where the Cold War erupted into hot war, and to minimize or ignore issues involving nuclear weapons. Reporting mostly on the literature from the last thirteen years, the two authors acknowledge that no new synthesis has emerged, seem pleased that “post-revi…

    Barton J BernsteinARTICLEDiplomatic History1990

    Even more than a quarter of a century after the Cuban missile crisis, many of the basic issues remain in dispute: Why did the Soviets place the missiles there, and did Khrushchev dictate this decision or was he acting under Kremlin pressures? Because the president and most ExComm members concluded that this Soviet deployment, even when added to the Soviet home-based ICBM arsenal, could not destroy much of the American missile force and thus did n…
