From Hiroshima to Hanoi

D’Hiroshima à Hanoï : le bombardement de Royan dans l’œuvre de Howard Zinn (1970-2011)

Résumé

This study focuses on the intellectual process by which historian Howard Zinn conducted research about the bombings of Royan in 1945. It looks at the historian’s published work on the topic in both English and French and considers the political motivations that prompted him to look into this particular event. The uniqueness of this investigation is due to the personal dimension of this military episode because Zinn served as a US Air Force bombardier during the war. Yet it is only in the specific context of the 1960s that he realized the historical value of his experience.
