failed to understand that American occupiers had no intention of elevating Nagasaki to the ‘superior’ atomic bomb city. In May 1959, a year after the atomic ruins of Urakami Cathedral were demolished to reconstruct the city into a modern and international city and to develop ‘peaceful’ relations with the US, the Vatican raised the status of Nagasaki from diocese to archdiocese. Nagasaki lost to Hiroshima in the competition over the status of the atomic bomb city and the most remarkable atomic bomb ruins; in turn, Diehl notes, the city ‘gained the status among international Catholic cities as the expense of the city’s atomic memory’ (162, emphasis added). Resurrecting Nagasaki is an important book for anyone who is interested in nuclear history, US–Japan relations, US public diplomacy and urban studies.

未能理解美国占领者无意将长崎提升为“高级”原子弹城市。1959 年 5 月，在拆除浦上大教堂的原子弹废墟以将这座城市重建为一座现代化的国际城市并与美国发展“和平”关系的一年后，梵蒂冈将长崎的地位从教区提升为总教区。长崎在原子弹城市地位和最引人注目的原子弹废墟的竞争中输给了广岛；反过来，Diehl 指出，这座城市“以牺牲城市的原子记忆为代价，在国际天主教城市中获得了地位”（162，重点补充）。对于任何对核历史、美日关系、美国公共外交和城市研究感兴趣的人来说，《复活长崎》都是一本重要的书。
