Segal Comments on Anniversary of A-Bomb Use
University of Maine professor of history Howard Segal was a guest on The Pulse morning radio talk show Aug. 6, discussing the 67th anniversary of American forces dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, to end World War II.
Segal offered perspectives (about 2 hours, 5 minutes into the program) on the legacy of the United States using the device, and how it was and is viewed in the Western world and in Japan.
The program was co-hosted by University of Maine School of Policy and International Affairs Assistant Director Jim Settele, a retired U.S. Navy captain and fighter pilot, sitting in for the vacationing Pat LaMarche. Settele offered commentary on the topic from a military point of view.
