Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Should America and Britain’s bombings of Dresden and Hiroshima during World War Two be considered war crimes? It’s a provocative question, but one philosopher A.C. Grayling says we must ask — especially as we mark the 60th anniversary of the Nuremberg trials, and the world continues to struggle with the nature of war and so-called ‘collateral damage.’ He joins Kojo to discuss history, morality and more.
Guests
- A. C. Grayling Professor of Philosphy at Birkbeck College, University of London; and author of "Among the Dead Cities: The History and Moral Legacy of the WWII Bombing of Civilians in Germany and Japan" (Walker & Co.)
