Summary: The sad story of Hiroshima
Comment: It was so sad that the first A-Bomb was dropped in Hiroshima, Japan and ended up killing more than 100,000 people. This book gives a lot of information into this tradegy. It gives helpful information about the background of Hiroshima and why there was conflict, the invention of the atomic bomb, the reconstruction and restoration process, and the high price of progress. I know that people were badly burned by high temperatures and got scars. Also it ruined the neighbors, buildings, people including jobs in Hiroshima when so many people were wounded. The war in WWII was taken over by Japanese people to get to Korea and attack them and get their independence. This occurred when Japanese expansion went through China and attacked. The Allies U.S., USSR and Great Britain agreed that Europe and Japan should soon be democratic and not use communism. For the second time, the atomic bomb was dropped in Nagasaki and it was more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb. Less people died, and the buildings were completely destroyed. Many years later, Hiroshima had built modern buildings. The dome was blasted with the Atomic Bomb in 1945 and more than 55 years later, they can't even finish this dome because I know they will never build it much. Japan began to rebuild its city. Jobs were created, buidings were restored and the people got on with their lives. However, there was a protest from the U.S. government about the expansion tactics. Japan attacked Pearl Harbor that is in US and it was the Japanese aircrafts that attacked it. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about the events taking place before the bombing at Hiroshima and the effects of this event on the rest of ythe world. This is a realistic account of the facts as they occcurred during and before Hiroshima and the conflicts that still exist today.
