false <![CDATA[Hiroshima]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255884504m/27323.jpg 27323 47 When the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, few could have anticipated its potential for devastation. Pulitzer prize-winning author John Hersey recorded the stories of Hiroshima residents shortly after the explosion and, in 1946, <i>Hiroshima</i> was published, giving the world first-hand accounts from people who had survived it. The words of Miss Sasaki, Dr. Fujii, Mrs. Nakamara, Father Kleinsorg, Dr. Sasaki, and the Reverend Tanimoto gave a face to the statistics that saturated the media and solicited an overwhelming public response. Whether you believe the bomb made the difference in the war or that it should never have been dropped, "Hiroshima" is a must read for all of us who live in the shadow of armed conflict. 1014091 book 1946 Hiroshima total:3661|5:996|4:1424|3:983|2:219|1:39| 3661 14102 4600 378 5 3 false false Thu Sep 10 16:19:36 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 16:45:15 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 4 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 1998 Wed Aug 15 22:41:10 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 15 22:47:05 -0700 2007 ...more...]]> 5 2 false false Wed Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Thu May 08 20:53:24 -0700 2008 Thu May 08 20:55:02 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 12 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 10:03:47 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 21:06:26 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Mon Jan 12 08:23:49 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 12 08:24:18 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Apr 04 12:34:20 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 04 12:44:32 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 1 false false Sun Feb 24 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 23 11:35:42 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 25 19:23:39 -0800 2008
