The Legacy of Hiroshima |
NEW TITLES |
 This book examines the disastrous impact of nuclear weapons from a dual perspective: their enormous destructive power and their medical, psychological, and human costs. The author, a nuclear physicist, recapitulates the August 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, documenting his account with testimony from survivors and numerous tables revealing the stark statistics of the human tragedy. After reviewing the development of nuclear arms and considering the probable effects of nuclear war using today's more powerful weapons, the author concludes with a heartfelt appeal that we learn from Hiroshima by banning nuclear arms. "An admirable and essential presentation of the facts and realities of past and future atomic warfare." --Asahi Evening News NAOMI SHOHNO, D.Sc., is a professor at Hiroshima Jogakuin College and the author of several books on the effects of nuclear weapons. 150 pp. 13.5 cm. x 21 cm. 24 pp. photos.
