"I’m not one of these people who, rightly or wrongly, thinks that the atomic bombing of Japan is a moral referendum for the honor of the United States. ... “What exactly did Harry Truman know and not know about the atomic bombings?” is the kind of question that appeals to me, and as the book indicates, I think you get a very different answer to a lot of other questions once you ask it."

📰 Fernando Rosas adaptou a sua intervenção de abertura da conferência "Reler Fernando Rosas" e publicou-a em texto no número de Maio da @mdiplopt. Começa assim: "Quis a sorte ou o diabo que eu chegasse a octogenário. E por isso aqui estou a cumprir gostosamente convosco os meus inesperados 80 anos."

🧵 1/2

I had less than an hour of sleep last night, which might explain why earlier this morning I found myself compelled to read obituary after obituary of British historians named Norman.

The one I enjoyed most was that written by Richard J Evans on Norman Stone.

" One of the specialities of the historian Norman Stone, who has died aged 78, was character assassination ," begins Evans, who then assassinates the assassin -- rightly so, considering the odious Stone's inflated reputation outside the academy.

I have to admit the name Norman brought to mind...

A quotation from Hannah Arendt

Caution in handling generally accepted opinions that claim to explain whole trends of history is especially important for the historian of modern times, because the last century has produced an abundance of ideologies that pretend to be keys to history but are actually nothing but desperate efforts to escape responsibility.

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
The Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 1, ch. 1 “Antisemitism as an Outrage to Common Sense” (1951)
