Synopsis
The most famous work of the Pulitzer Prizewinning novelist and reporter. An account of the bombing of Hiroshima in 1945, told from the perspective of six survivors, it is written in a stark, objective voice that manages to be precise and all the more vivid for its understatement of events. A profoundly influential work that have long since been established as one of the classic accounts of the Second World War.

Publisher's Note
Almost four decades after the original publication of this celebrated book, John Hersey went back to Hiroshima in search of the people whose stories he had told. His account of what he discovered about them is now the eloquent and moving final chapter of Hiroshima.

On August 6, 1945, Hiroshima was destroyed by the first atom bomb ever dropped on a city. This book, John Hersey's journalistic masterpiece, tells what happened on that day. Told through the memories of survivors, this timeless, powerful and compassionate document has become a classic "that stirs the conscience of humanity" (The New York Times).Almost four decades after the original publication of this celebrated book, John Hersey went back to Hiroshima in search of the people whose stories he had told. His account of what he discovered about them is now the eloquent and moving final chapter of Hiroshima.

Industry Reviews
"The quietest, and the best, of all the stories that have been written about the most spectacular explosion in the time of man. 'Hiroshima' penetrated the tissue of complacency we had built up. It penetrated it all the more inexorably because it told its story not it terms of graphs and charts but in terms of ordinary human beings....Their stories had been taken down directly by Mr. Hersey, who brought to his interrogations and investigations the gifts he had already conspicuously shown as the Pulitzer-Prize-winning author of 'A Bell for Adano' and as an outstanding war correspondent."
New York Times Book Review - Charles Poore (11/10/1946)

"This is not a treatise. It is a factual account, in straightforward reportorial style, of what happened in Hiroshima on the morning of August 6, 1945, and in the sad days that followed. It is John Hersey at his best."
Christian Century - Hutchison (09/25/1946)

"Hersey's piece is certainly one of the great classics of the war."
New Republic - Bruce Bliven Jr. (09/09/1946)

"It seems to me impossible for anyone to read 'Hiroshima' without drawing morals for himself. I therefore here conclude the review of 'Hiroshima' with the remark that everyone able to read should read it, and go on to speak of the morals that I feel should be drawn from this superb bit of reporting."
Saturday Review - Ridenour (11/02/1946)

"Hersey has risen to the heights of impartial recording that makes this a human document transcending propaganda."
Carruth

"Mr. Hersey has scrupulously left the facts to speak for themselves, and they have not spoken loudly enough. If the style accounts for part of the excessively subdued effect, the method of narration accounts for more. Mr. Hersey has made up his picture by following the fortunes of six inhabitants of Hiroshima who survived. The inevitable result is that those who did not perish occupy all the foreground, and the mounds of dead are only seen vaguely in the background."
Rifkind
