Friend,
As you may know,
this year marks an unfortunate anniversary: the 75th year of the nuclear
age.
On July 16, 1945, the world was forever changed when the first nuclear
bomb was exploded in New Mexico. Three weeks later, on August 6,
the United States dropped a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima; on August 9, the
United States dropped another nuclear bomb on Nagasaki.
Survivors of those attacks and of the next few decades of testing and
nuclear weapons production are still here. But so are the weapons. While
this anniversary is an appropriate time to acknowledge and mourn the loss
of life our fellow Americans caused on that day, it is also an opportunity
to look to the future.
That’s why Peace Action is proud to join with more than 100 other
organizations worldwide to honor the survivors of the world’s most gruesome
and deadly attack — and to embrace our role in ensuring these weapons are
never used again.
On August 7th, from 6:30 pm - 8 pm ET, along with our New Hampshire
affiliate, Peace Action will be hosting an online event to commemorate the
75th anniversary of those tragic bombings, and to honor those who somehow
survved through it.
Every year, all
over the world, people gather to remember the atomic bombings of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year will be a little
different. On the seventy-fifth anniversary of those bombings, you can
gather with American and international peace groups for a live streaming
remembrance hosted by our own Kevin Martin, President of Peace Action. The
ceremony will be led by Reverend Elizabeth Theoharis, co-chair of the Poor
People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, and will feature
Masako Wada, who was a young girl in Nagasaki and survived the bombing. She
is now the Assistant Secretary-General of Nihon Hidankyo, the Japanese
organization of survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
We would love for you to join us! Please RSVP here. In the run-up to this remembrance,
please share this online event with your friends, explore this website honoring the Hibakusha (survivors of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki), and read the stories of these
survivors of the terrible legacy of nuclear weapons.
We all have a role to play in raising awareness about this
anniversary, and I need your help to make this event as successful as
possible.
I hope you’ll join us.
In Peace and Remembrance,

Friends,
This is the promised
follow up with links to Hiroshima and Nagasaki 75th anniversary
webinars, events and resources.
ACTIONS
Let me begin with two resources that will take you more deeply into the human meetings of the
Atomic Bombings than almost anything else.
First is Sumiteru TANIGUCHI’s memoir, The
Atomic Bomb on My Back.
Translated from the Japanese and edited by yours truly, it provides the
painful history of one of the most tortured A-Bomb survivors, his courageous
commitment to live a loving and full life, and the story of the creation and
activities of the Hibakusha movement for nuclear weapons abolition and to
secure government assistance. The book can be pre-ordered online. But you can
get two blessings with one payment, by making a $100 contribution to the
Campaign for Peace, Disarmament and Common Security. It will help us to keep
on keepin’ on. Donate at https://www.cpdcs.org/donate/
The other is the
searing 17-minute Hiroshima
Nagasaki 1945 is comprised of film footage taken by Japanese photographers
and locked away in a Pentagon vault for 20 years to prevent the Soviet Union
from using it for propaganda purposes. It’s upsetting to watch, but like the
video of George Floyd’s murder, it documents truths that we must know:

Dick,
This week marks an important and somber commemoration: the 75th
anniversary of the nuclear attacks on the Japanese cities of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
75 years ago, the United States devastated the populations of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing hundreds of thousands of people in an
instant, destroying infrastructure, and causing long-term detrimental
health effects for millions. 75 years ago, the United
States began a war on civilians all over the world by testing these
world-ending weapons.
75 years later, we are badly off course in efforts to honor the
plea of the Hibakusha, those impacted by the nuclear blasts, and end
the nuclear threat. 75 years later, nuclear weapons are
still here. Unless we dismantle the system, the chance that these
weapons will be used again is high.
Nuclear weapons may still be here, but so are survivors and activists
working to eliminate this threat. We hope you will join us in taking
action this anniversary to commemorate the bombings and ensure
nothing like this ever happens again.
#StillHere: 75 Years of Shared Nuclear Legacy
Our coalition of anti-nuclear activists is humbled to host
a national virtual event commemorating the 75th
anniversaries. Join us on Thursday, August 6 at 11am ET and Sunday,
August 9 at 2pm ET for highlights from local events nationwide,
stories from survivors, and a look toward the future of a world free
from nuclear threats. Watch the livestream here.
And find out more about our coalition to
commemorate the anniversaries and how we’re pressing our leaders to
take necessary actions to ensure nuclear weapons are never used
again.
Talk about the anniversaries on social media
We need to get loud this week to call attention to these
anniversaries and the way forward. And you can do this using social
media, specifically using the hashtags #StillHere, #75YearsOf, and
#HiroshimaNagasaki75. Here’s some suggested social media actions:
1. Click to tweet about our national virtual
event happening Thursday and Sunday
2. Retweet stories of survivors
3. Follow and engage with us on Instagram
4. Like and share our Facebook post
5. Search the hashtag #StillHere on Twitter to see other tweets
to uplift
Sign the Hibakusha appeal
For more
than 70 years since the atomic bombings, the survivors, known as Hibakusha,
have struggled to live on, afflicted by delayed health and
environmental effects. Never again can we allow such tragedies to be
repeated. Americans must support the Hibakusha and over 10 million
Japanese community members by calling on the U.S. government to work
towards the elimination of all nuclear weapons and fight for a
livable future. Sign the Hibakusha Appeal to call on U.S. leaders to
work toward global nuclear disarmament.
Talk to your reps about justice for New Mexicans
This week especially, we cannot forget that New Mexicans were
the first victims of nuclear weapons. The area of the Trinity Test
site has reported high rates of cancer, birth defects, and other
issues that can be linked to the nuclear fallout. Visit your reps virtually or write your reps to let them know that
supporting the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act Amendments of 2019
is the LEAST Congress can do to make amends for nuclear testing that
continues to harm people and the planet.
Sign and share the No First Use pledge
On the 75th anniversary of the only time nuclear weapons have
been used in war, it’s long past time to make sure this never happens
again. We can do this through instituting a No First Use policy and
paving the way toward the elimination of these weapons. There are no
circumstances in which the United States could use nuclear weapons
first without suffering horrific consequences and inflicting the loss
of hundreds of thousands of innocent lives. Sign and share our No First Use pledge.

Dick,
With so
much turmoil in the world right now, it can be difficult to step
back to truly assess where we are. But, now, more than ever, we
must commit to remembering the past, to never repeat the atrocities
of yesterday and to learn how to create a brighter future.
This year
marks 75 years since the beginning of the nuclear age. Join us on the
anniversaries of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to honor
those lost as well as all survivors of nuclear violence around the
world.
On July
16, 1945, the first nuclear weapons test was conducted in New
Mexico. Then, three weeks later, on August 6, the U.S. dropped a
nuclear bomb on Hiroshima. Days later, on August 9, the U.S.
dropped a second nuclear bomb on Nagasaki. Hundreds of thousands
lost their lives on those two horrific days — and more have
followed in the years since due to the long term effects of
radiation exposure. But, survivors of those attacks and of
the nuclear weapons industrial complex are #stillhere, sharing
their stories and asking for justice. Sadly, these
terrible weapons are also #stillhere. We have so much to learn from
those impacted by nuclear violence. And, we have a
responsibility to join them in action.
That’s why
Beyond the Bomb is proud to join more than 100 other organizations
worldwide in honoring the survivors of the world’s most gruesome
and deadly attack — and in ensuring these weapons are never used
again. Listen to survivors tell their stories, learn how to get
involved in your community, and push back against the nuclear
status quo through our live streamed events.
Please
RSVP and share the online event with your friends! Together, we can
make a difference. We all have a role to play in raising awareness
about this anniversary, and we need your help to show the world
that we will not rest as long as these weapons are
#stillhere. We hope you’ll join us.
Forward,
Yasmeen,
and the Beyond the Bomb team

“Nuclear
weapons should be abolished to ensure a peaceful future. The
damage of atomic bombings should not be repeated. The pain of
the victims of that day must not be forgotten.
We must not allow nuclear weapons to continue to exist.”
—Reiko Yamada, Hibakusha
Dick,
75 years ago today, the United States launched the first
nuclear strike in history, laying waste to the city of
Hiroshima with a single, devastating bomb. Three days later,
a second atomic weapon was dropped on the city of
Nagasaki. An estimated 200,000 civilians died in the
attacks and many more were injured.
The stories of the survivors of the atomic bombings of Japan
— known as Hibakusha — are living reminders
of why we must never abandon our work. There can be
no more Hiroshimas or Nagasakis. The only way to ensure these
weapons are never used again is to eliminate them. All
of them, everywhere.
We’re commemorating the anniversaries all week by shining a
light on these barbaric attacks, amplifying stories of
survivors, and outlining bold steps toward a nuclear
weapons-free future. We invite you to follow along
on Facebook and Twitter and
share these vital stories.
75
years is too long to live under the threat of nuclear
violence. While many believe the prospect of nuclear
conflict receded with the end of the Cold War, the truth is
that today’s nuclear risks are as high or higher than any
point in history. We must not wait for a catastrophe
before we act.
As grim as it looks today, we can’t lose sight of the bigger
picture. Over the last 30 years, we’ve eradicated more than
80% of the global nuclear stockpile — from its peak of 70,000
to the estimated 13,400 that remain today.
With bold leadership and sustained public pressure, zero can
be accomplished within a decade. The only obstacles
are political.
Global Zero has a plan to eliminate nuclear weapons in our
lifetime, and it’s backed by an unprecedented global network
of current and former senior political leaders, military
commanders, and national security experts that spans the
political spectrum and transcends borders and conflict zones.
We are working every day to set that plan in motion.
Thank you for all of your support to achieve a world without
nuclear weapons.
Onward,
Derek Johnson
Executive Director of Global Zero
P.S. Join us for
virtual events to commemorate these anniversaries. Don’t miss
Jon Wolfsthal, Senior Adviser to Global Zero and Director of
the Nuclear Crisis Group, who will be doing a live “Ask Me
Anything” this Sunday, August 9 at 3:25pm ET.

THREE BOOK REVIEWS
FROM PUBLISHER’S WEEKLY
|
The Button: The New Nuclear Arms Race and Presidential
Power from Truman to Trump by William J. Perry and Tom Z.
Collina. BenBella, 2020. (334p).
Perry (My Journey at the Nuclear Brink), who served as
secretary of defense under Bill Clinton, and global security analyst Collina
expose the lack of checks and balances to prevent U.S. presidents from
triggering nuclear war in this well-documented call for reform. Cataloguing
seven decades of domestic policy developments and international power struggles
over nuclear arms, including General MacArthur’s tug-of-war with President
Truman over nuclear authorization during the Korean War, the Cuban Missile
Crisis, and the 1980s Strategic Defense Initiative (commonly known as Star
Wars), Perry and Collina argue that presidential monopoly on “the button” has
reached a new level of danger under President
Trump, whom they regard as a uniquely unstable leader. Their policy
suggestions include an end to sole presidential nuclear authority, a
prohibition on the first use of nuclear weapons by the U.S., and sustained
diplomatic engagement with Iran and North Korea. Perry’s insider perspective on
disarmament negotiations between the U.S. and Russia and the vulnerability of
the U.S. arsenal to cyberattacks illuminates, but generalists will find
themselves overwhelmed with policy minutiae. Still, this authoritative account
reveals the true extent of the nuclear threat. Publisher’s
Weekly June 2020.
Fallout: The Hiroshima Cover-Up and the Reporter Who Revealed It to the
World by Lesley M. M. Blume. Simon &
Schuster, 2020,. $27 (288p) .
Journalist Blume (Everybody
Behaves Badly) delivers a thrilling behind-the-scenes account of John
Hersey’s seminal 1946 report on the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. In the months
after Japan’s surrender, Hersey hatched a plan with New Yorker managing
editor William Shawn to go into Hiroshima as a “Trojan horse reporter” and
describe the bomb’s impact from the victims’ point of view. Blume balances her
narrative between Hersey’s journalistic process and Shawn’s editorial
decision-making, which culminated in convincing New Yorker founder Harold Ross to devote the entire Aug. 29, 1946,
issue to the story. She also documents the dramatic impact of Hersey’s
report, which was eventually published as a book, on the public perception of
the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, and its continued resonance in the debate
over nuclear arms. Hersey, she notes, devoted all the proceeds from the work to
the American Red Cross and didn’t return to Japan for 40 years. Blume builds
tension by expertly interweaving scenes at the New Yorker offices
(where Ross and Shawn kept most staffers in the dark right up until
publication), with Hersey’s journey into Japan and his search for survivors,
and vividly captures a pre-television era when evidence of the nuclear fallout
was suppressed by the U.S. government. This enthralling, fine-grained chronicle
reveals what it takes to cut through “dangerously anesthetizing” statistics and
speak truth to power. (Aug.)
Correction: An earlier
version of this review incorrectly referred to William Shawn as Wallace Shawn.

Gambling with Armageddon: Nuclear Roulette from Hiroshima to the Cuban
Missile Crisis, 1945–1962. By Martin J. Sherwin. Knopf, 2020. (624p) .
Blunders,
misunderstandings, and “dumb luck” shape history in this captivating reevaluation
of post-WWII nuclear brinksmanship. Examining America’s use of atomic weaponry
to contain Soviet expansion in Asia and the Americas, Pulitzer winner Sherwin
(coauthor, American Prometheus) relates in nerve-jangling detail
how presidents Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy grappled with their Soviet
counterparts, Stalin and Khrushchev. According to Sherwin’s portrayal, Truman
was “intellectually and emotionally unprepared” to understand the atomic high
stakes and often deferred to his hawkish secretary of state, James F. Byrnes.
Entangled in an affair with a White House intern, Kennedy wavered during the
Cuban Missile Crisis and depended on his brother, Robert, to back-channel with
the Soviets to avoid nuclear war. According to Sherwin, military personnel
countermanded orders to launch nuclear weapons on multiple occasions during the
two-week confrontation. In one instance, a U.S. missile squadron on Okinawa was
poised to fire 32 nuclear missiles at targets in China and the Soviet Union
before deciding to stand down. Intricately detailed, vividly written, and
nearly Tolstoyan in scope, Sherwin’s account reveals just how close the Cold
War came to boiling over. History buffs will be enthralled. (Sept.)
