| Book Review |
John Hersey's Hiroshima is a critical piece of
journalism - quite possibly the most important piece written in the 20th
century. I appreciated that Hersey interviewed victims of the bombing of
Hiroshima from many backgrounds and humanized them. The stories are very easy to
read and provide a great basis for what happened from the moment the bomb
dropped to the weeks/months/years after the bombing. Even if you are not
interested in war literature, this book is an important read to remind us of
what the U.S. did during WWII and the repercussions of nuclear warfare. |
