A great read to learn what it was like to be on the ground in Hiroshima on that fateful August day. The writing and structure are beyond solid, but I have issues with who he elected to cover in the book and some unintentional biases wrapped up with that.

Read in high school.
2.5/5
An interesting book that chronicles the experiences of six survivors of Hiroshima. It details their immediate experience and recollection of the blast, as well as follows them through their life after. I did not find the writing style to be particularly engaging.
