Synopsis These eyewitness accounts, by American journalist George Weller, record the events immediately after August 9, 1945, when an atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Nagasaki. They were never seen in print due to military censorship, and were recovered through carbon copies that were found after Weller’s death by his son, Anthony. The stunning reportage describes the damage and after-effects of the bomb on the city and its inhabitants, as well as other post-Nagasaki events of the war. Weller won a Pulitzer Prize for his war journalism in 1943.
