About the Book ~"Hiroshima is the story of six human beings who lived through the greatest man made disaster in history. With what Bruce Bliven called "the simplicity of genius," John Hersey tells what these six ~ a clerk, a widowed seamstress, a physician, a Methodist minister, a young surgeon, and a German Catholic priest ~ were doing at 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, when Hiroshima was destroyed by the first atom bomb ever dropped on a city. Then he follows the course of their lives hour by hour, day by day, building up with sure, quiet artistry the already classic piece that Lewis Gannett called "the best reporting to come out of this war." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~This Book would be nice for any Historian, Collector, or for anyone interested in World History, the Military, World War 2, or Hiroshima!
