(us) John Hersey
At exactly 8:15 a. M. Local time on August 6, 1945, Japan, a "new type bomb" exploded over Hiroshima. With a silent flash of light, the lives of 300,000 ordinary citizens were completely changed. Nearly a year later, when the United States had given up paying attention to Hiroshima and generally supported the use of atomic bombs against Japan, Pulitzer Prize winner John Hersey went to Hiroshima to investigate the atomic bombing. He took readers back to that bright summer morning and walked with six ordinary people into their kitchens, commuter trains, and offices to witness their experiences at the same moment and their 40-year life trajectory.
