Japan 1945. In one of the defining moments of the twentieth
century, more than 100,000 people were killed instantly by two
atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki by US Air Force
B29s. Hundreds of thousands more succumbed to their horrific
injuries, or slowly perished of radiation-related sickness.
Hiroshima Nagasaki tells the story of the tragedy through the eyes
of the survivors, from the twelve-year-olds forced to work in war
factories to the wives and children who faced it alone. Through
their harrowing personal testimonies, we are reminded that these
were ordinary people, given no warning and no chance to escape the
horror. American leaders claimed that the bombings were 'our least
abhorrent choice' and fell strictly on 'military targets'. Even
today, most people believe they ended the Pacific War and saved
millions of American and Japanese lives. Hiroshima Nagasaki
challenges this deep-set perception, revealing that the atomic
bombings were the final crippling blow to the Japanese in a
stratgic air war waged primarily against civilians.
