His full-scale investigation of the historical dispute results in a compelling story of how and why our views about the bombing of Japan have evolved since its occurrence.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eEnola Gay and the Court of History\u003c\/i\u003e is compulsory reading for all those interested in the history of the Pacific war, the morality of war, and the failed NASM exhibition.
