Synopsis
Hiroshima by John Hersey tells the account of six survivors covering the time before, during and after the U.S. bombing of Japan in World War II. Hersey chronicles the horrors of the event in simple, graphic detail in what was originally published as a 31,000 word article in New Yorker magazine in 1946. Just a few months later, Alfred A. Knopf printed it in book form.
