[Stefanie Robinson · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book reviews the aftermath of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the effects of the devastation on the population. Aside from the immediate destruction and loss of life, property, and income, people were faced with decades of radiation poisoning, disfigurement, disabilities, and a huge mess to clean up. This book was used a resource on a paper I was writing, and I found it to be tremendously helpful.

I'm doing a research project this quarter about the effects of the atomic bombs dropped on Japan, and I found this to be a very interesting resource!
