Hiroshima (1946)
This is a phenomenal mini-book. John Heresy does a superb job portraying the horror of the Bomb. What surprised me most how many citizens didn&#x27;t feel that its use was inhuman.<p>&quot;As for the use of the bomb, she would say, “It was war and we had to expect it.” &quot;<p>&quot;Others were of the opinion that in total war, as carried on in Japan, there was no difference between civilians and soldiers, and that the bomb itself was an effective force tending to end the bloodshed, warning Japan to surrender and thus to avoid total destruction. It seems logical that he who supports total war in principle cannot complain of a war against civilians.&quot;
