Just a hair more than a year after the blast.
The resulting article(s) were originally published in The New Yorker on August 31, 1946. Yup, that's right-no fiction here this is a true story of the Hiroshima bombings, as remembered by six individuals who were there that on that fateful day.īut how did this book come to be? What awesome, brave soul went to radiation-contaminated Hiroshima to get the scoop? You have John Hersey to thank for that: while working as a correspondent for The New Yorker, he traveled to Japan to interview survivors of the 1945 blast. If you're scrolling through another list about "45 Kittens That Are Too Cute For Life" or "Seventeen Omelets That Want To Kill You" and you're feeling parched for the days of great journalism, fear not, brave Shmooper.
