An incredible, unflinching, emotional look at the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki; a grueling timeline of the events in both cities in the seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months afterwards. There's a focus on the brutal, and often horrifyingly otherworldly, effects of the bombs—utilizing many, many hellish survivor stories—as well as exploring the ethics and justifications of the decision to use them.
Very well-written, thorough, and engrossing, and it's about an important subject very few people have written in any depth about.
