Alexis Dudden tells us stories we haven't heard from histories we thought we knew. An Associate Professor of History and Director of Humanitarian Studies at the University of Connecticut, Dudden's recently published Troubled Apologies among Japan, Korea, and the United States, investigates when and why politicians apologize for government transgressions, and what affect that has for the victims of that misconduct. Was Hiroshima really necessary? Should a nation have to take responsibility for the actions of its former governments? What does Japan's former occupation of Korea teach us about our own presence in Afghanistan and Iraq? Better have a listen. . . .
