Prayers in Stone: Nagasaki's A-bomb Heritage Sites

by David Victor Petersen

Richly illustrated, and with a wealth of materials never before available in English, this book provides an overview of more than 200 of Nagasaki's A-bomb heritage sites. The entries are organized into a series of tours for the convenience of tourists actually visiting the city, and to give the general reader a sense of the layout and proximity to the hypocenter. In addition to a foreword, introduction, postscript, and reference section, it includes translations of A-bomb literature written by several atomic survivors.
