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.
