dark emotional informative sad

5.0

The fates of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have always shocked me ever since I first learned about the World War in elementary school. I still vaguely remember the realisation that the humanity (and pretty much all life) could be wiped out by man-made weapons, that there were so many nuclear weapons that using them would be the end of all.

I've visited Hiroshima twice and the Peace Museum once. It's such a sombre experience that stays with you forever. Hiroshima by Hersey recounts the stories of several people who survived the war, but whose lives were irreversibly changed by the imminent destruction, radiation sickness as well as discriminatory politics that persisted for decades.

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.
