The first part of the book recounts the author's grim struggle to prolong the lives of patients suffering from massive burns, other injuries, and radiation sickness. The second part includes a number of essays published in the early 1950s in an attempt to awaken both the Japanese medical community and the general public to nuclear weapons' terrible medical effects.
