Hiroshima Sunset
A tender love story set against the background of the British Commonwealth Occupation Force, sent to Japan at the end of WW2. Related through a soldier's journal, it gives a rare insight into a little known aspect of Australia's postwar responsibility for the Hiroshima prefecture,where thousands of Australian soldiers helped disarm the Japanese war machine. As they administered the devastated wasteland that was once Hiroshima, some fell in love. This is one soldier's story.

A beautiful story with a very poignant message about the decision to drop this horrible bomb for me it puts into perspective the term used so much today "Weapons of mass Destruction" nothing a terrorist could contrive could come anywhere close to what was dropped on Hiroshima. That apart this book is one of the best stories I can remember go on give it a try you won't regret it.
I downloaded it in epub format from smashwords.com but you can get it in paperback
