Why read it

  • You will see the bombing through the eyes of people who were there, not as a date or a headline
  • You will understand that the suffering did not end on the day of the bomb but carried on for years
  • You will learn how survivors and their city keep the bombing remembered, against the pull of forgetting

Who it is for

  • A reader who knows the date but little of the human story
  • A teacher or student of twentieth century history
  • Someone thinking about nuclear weapons with real people in mind
