quixie's review against another edition

dark informative sad fast-paced

4.75

This read like a horror novel, but the horror was real. My jaw was on the floor. I cried. I hated my own country during the read. Almost a 5 star read, but the ending was wrapped up kind of clumsily, I think.

Thank you Penguin Random House Audio for the free audiobook. Whatever you think of Christopher Nolan's decision to omit any Japanese perspective from "Oppenheimer," John Hersey's classic chronicle of Hiroshima survivors' experiences is an essential complement to Nolan's West-centric account.
