Description
Bombshell traces how the US government constructed an appealing narrative for american consumption, how one reporter?s non-fiction masterpiece blew apart that narrative, and how washington RE-asserted its official line and instilled IT in the national conscience. Bombshell introduces fresh insight into classified reports, speech drafts, letters and articles that some say shaped the official narrative, and others argue expose that narrative as government propaganda. IT will probe the role of the black press in wwii and how IT reacted to the bombings of hiroshima and nagasaki through the prism of race. And bombshell uncovers for an american audience what the japanese reported in the first hours after the atomic strikes. Bombshell is about the power of narrative, perception, public opinion and what we convince ourselves ourselves regardless of the truth.]
