Great read,
By
This review is from: Hiroshima (Mass Market Paperback)
It was very interesting to hear from 6 different points of view. There were many things that I was not aware of before reading this book, and certainly gave me a good appreciation of the disaster that happened that day in Hiroshima. I totally recommend this book!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Book,
This review is from: Hiroshima (Mass Market Paperback)
This is an excellent book. It puts a face on the horrors of the atomic bomb. You can feel the revulsion of atomic warfare. It was quite unfortunate that it was dropped. If you believe it was right to drop it, this is the one book that could very well change your mind.

DRAMA AND EXCITEMENT,
By BOOKY BEAR (Perryville, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hiroshima (Mass Market Paperback)
A stunning and compelling (MUSTREAD) story of 6 different people (Toshinki Sasaki, Masakzu Fujii, Hatsuyo Nakamura, Wilhelm Kleinsorge, Terufumi Sasaki, and Kiyoshi Tanimoto) who's lives are heavily affected by the atomic bomb USA dropped on the city of Hiroshima on August 6 1945. World War II was a war not to be forgotten and niether will this book when you read it. A little hard to follow however, when you get it, a wonderfully written story. John Hershy gives very factual details of the war, and handles the characters point of view well. He is a genious.
