Should Oppenheimer Have Shown WW2 Bombings Of Japan? Original Book Author Responds

The author of the book upon which Oppenheimer was based answers whether the film should have shown the World War II atomic bombings of Japan. Christopher Nolan’s 2023 blockbuster biopic on the father of the atom bomb was always going to be controversial, given its explosive subject-matter. It’s no surprise then that many arguments have sprung up around the film, including a heated debate about Nolan’s decision to focus on the creation of the atom bomb, but not show the devastating result of the super-weapon being used on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
