<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>From the taming of the West to the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, the portrayal of the past has become a battleground at the heart of American politics. 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 <i>History Wars</i>, 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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"In their illuminating explorations of contemporary American struggles with Hiroshima and Nagasaki, these essays contribute to much-needed nuclear-age wisdom." --<i>Robert Jay Lifton</i> <p/>"Informative and compelling." --<i>Eric Foner</i> <p/>"A stimulating and revelatory work." --<i>Studs Terkel</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Edward T.
