Rain of Ruin: Hiroshima 80 years on | The InnerView

Acclaimed historian Richard Overy’s latest book, Rain of Ruin, looks at the atomic bombing of Japan, events that changed the world 80 years ago and brought World War 2 to an end.

In conversation with Imran Garda, Overy discusses the context and legacy of that attack and the profound cultural impact it still has with films such as Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer.

Overy is also the author of Why War? A book that aims to explore the forces that drive human conflict.

From ancient human history to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to the current wars raging around the world, why do we fight? And is our species on the verge of using those diabolical weapons again?
