Download or read book War's End written by Charles W. Sweeney and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On August 9, 1945, on the tiny island of Tinian in the South Pacific, a twenty-five-year-old American Army Air Corps major named Charles W. Sweeney climbed aboard a B-29 Superfortress in command of his first combat mission, one devised specifically to bring a long and terrible war to a necessary conclusion. In the belly of his bomber, Bock's Car, was a newly developed, fully armed weapon that had never been tested in a combat situation. It was a weapon capable of a level of destruction never before dreamed of in the history of the human race, a bomb whose terrifying aftershock would ultimately determine the direction of the twentieth century and change the world forever. The last military officer to command an atomic mission, Major General Charles W. Sweeney has the unique distinction of having been an integral part of both the Hiroshima and the Nagasaki bombing runs. Now updated with a new epilogue from the co-author, his book is an extraordinary chronicle of the months of careful planning and training; the setbacks, secrecy, and snafus; and the nerve-shattering final seconds and the astonishing aftermath of what is arguably the most significant single event in modern history: the employment of an atomic weapon during wartime.

Book Synopsis Atomic Inferno - Voice of Survivors by : Edgar Wollstone
Download or read book Atomic Inferno - Voice of Survivors written by Edgar Wollstone and published by UB Tech. This book was released on 2023-11-18 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harry S. Truman, the president of the United States, and his military advisers were committed to using all available means to finish the war as soon as possible. Around 80,000 people were killed when the Little Boy atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima on the morning of August 6 by the B-29 bomber Enola Gay. More than 40,000 people were killed by another atomic bomb codenamed Fat Man that was dropped over Nagasaki three days later on August 9 by bomber B-29 named Bock’s Car. One particular group of people had to deal with something else when world leaders and common people struggled to digest the metaphorical aftershocks. Before it was a global event, the arrival of the bomb was a personal one for the hibakushas of those destroyed cities. It may be good fortune, fate, or intelligence that preserved them in the midst of death and ruin, preserving the voices that can still describe to the world what it looks like when people find new and awful ways to harm one another. The hibakushas have spoken about their experiences in the aftermath of the twin bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki though many of the survivors were reluctant to share their stories because of the stigma attached to these hibakushas of Japan. Follow the journey of the survivors from 6 and 9 August 1945. Their Unforgettable stories of courage and resilience in this must-read copy will show the importance of peace and understanding in the world.
Download or read book Hiroshima written by John Hersey and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hiroshima is the story of six people—a clerk, a widowed seamstress, a physician, a Methodist minister, a young surgeon, and a German Catholic priest—who lived through the greatest single manmade disaster in history. In vivid and indelible prose, Pulitzer Prize–winner John Hersey traces the stories of these half-dozen individuals from 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, when Hiroshima was destroyed by the first atomic bomb ever dropped on a city, through the hours and days that followed. Almost four decades after the original publication of this celebrated book, Hersey went back to Hiroshima in search of the people whose stories he had told, and his account of what he discovered is now the eloquent and moving final chapter of Hiroshima.

Book Synopsis Hiroshima Diary by : Michihiko Hachiya, M.D.
Download or read book Hiroshima Diary written by Michihiko Hachiya, M.D. and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late Dr. Michihiko Hachiya was director of the Hiroshima Communications Hospital when the world's first atomic bomb was dropped on the city. Though his responsibilities in the appalling chaos of a devastated city were awesome, he found time to record the story daily, with compassion and tenderness. His compelling diary was originally published by the UNC Press in 1955, with the help of Dr. Warner Wells of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who was a surgical consultant to the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission and who became a friend of Dr. Hachiya. In a new foreword, John Dower reflects on the enduring importance of the diary fifty years after the bombing.
Download or read book Hiroshima written by Keiji Nakazawa and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2010 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compelling autobiography tells the life story of famed manga artist Nakazawa Keiji. Born in Hiroshima in 1939, Nakazawa was six years old when on August 6, 1945, the United States dropped the atomic bomb. His gritty and stunning account of the horrific aftermath is powerfully told through the eyes of a child who lost most of his family and neighbors. In eminently readable and beautifully translated prose, the narrative continues through the brutally difficult years immediately after the war, his art apprenticeship in Tokyo, his pioneering "atomic-bomb" manga, and the creation of Barefoot Gen, the classic graphic novel based on Nakazawa's experiences before, during, and after the bomb. This first English-language translation of Nakazawa's autobiography includes twenty pages of excerpts from Barefoot Gen to give readers who don't know the manga a taste of its power and scope. A recent interview with the author brings his life up to the present. His trenchant hostility to Japanese imperialism, the emperor and the emperor system, and U.S. policy adds important nuance to the debate over Hiroshima. Despite the grimness of his early life, Nakazawa never succumbs to pessimism or defeatism. His trademark optimism and activism shine through in this inspirational work.
Download or read book Hiroshima Nagasaki written by Paul Ham and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2014-08-05 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this harrowing history of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, Paul Ham argues against the use of nuclear weapons, drawing on extensive research and hundreds of interviews to prove that the bombings had little impact on the eventual outcome of the Pacific War. More than 100,000 people were killed instantly by the atomic bombs, mostly women, children, and the elderly. Many hundreds of thousands more succumbed to their horrific injuries later, or slowly perished of radiation-related sickness. Yet American leaders claimed the bombs were "our least abhorrent choice"—and still today most people believe they ended the Pacific War and saved millions of American and Japanese lives. In this gripping narrative, Ham demonstrates convincingly that misunderstandings and nationalist fury on both sides led to the use of the bombs. Ham also gives powerful witness to its destruction through the eyes of eighty survivors, from twelve-year-olds forced to work in war factories to wives and children who faced the holocaust alone. Hiroshima Nagasaki presents the grisly unadorned truth about the bombings, blurred for so long by postwar propaganda, and transforms our understanding of one of the defining events of the twentieth century.
