About this book
Hiroshima by John Hersey tells the account of six survivors
covering the time before, during and after the U.S. bombing of Japan in World
War II. Hersey chronicles the horrors of the event in simple, graphic detail in
what was originally published as a 31,000 word article in New Yorker magazine in
1946. Just a few months later, Alfred A. Knopf printed it in book form.
First line
AT EXACTLY fifteen minutes past eight in the morning, on August 6, 1945, Japanese time, at the moment when the atomic bomb flashed above Hiroshima, Miss Toshiko Sasaki, a clerk in the personnel department of the East Asia Tin Works, had just sat down at her place in the plant office and was turning her head to speak to the girl at the next desk.
