In this clip from my conversation with Radhika Desai, she challenges one of the most widely accepted explanations for the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.<\/p>\n

As Radhika explains, the United States used nuclear weapons to demonstrate its new military power and strengthen the position of the US and the West in negotiations at the end of the Second World War.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo the nuclear weapons were used as a signal to communism.\u201d<\/p>\n

But was that really the reason the bombs were dropped?<\/p>\n

And what does the history of nuclear weapons tell us about war, capitalism, power and the emergence of the post-war world order?<\/p>\n
