The 2020 Commission Report on the North Korean Nuclear Attacks Against the United States: A Speculative Novel

by Jeffrey Lewis

Along the same lines, John Hersey’s 1946 book Hiroshima is probably more responsible than anything else for my interest in nuclear weapons. While there really is a South Korean television drama with a doctor named Oh Soo-hyun, the Dr. Oh depicted in Chapter 6 is a fictional homage to the very real Dr. Terafumi Sasaki, who was profiled in Hersey’s Hiroshima. Everyone who cares about the fate of this world and the danger posed by nuclear weapons should read Hersey’s book and the stories of the Hibakusha, and then visit the city of Hiroshima. Do it and you will understand.
