About this product
Product Information
" A] reminder of just how horrible nuclear weapons are."-- The Wall Street Journal " A devastating read that highlights man's capacity to wreak destruction, but in which one also catches a glimpse of all that is best about people."-- San Francisco Chronicle "A poignant and complex picture of the second atomic bomb's enduring physical and psychological tolls. Eyewitness accounts are visceral and haunting. . . . But the book's biggest achievement is its treatment of the aftershocks in the decades since 1945." -- The New Yorker The enduring impact of a nuclear bomb, told through the stories of those who survived: necessary reading as the threat of nuclear war emerges again. On August 9, 1945, three days after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, the United States dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, a small port city on Japan's southernmost island. An estimated 74,000 people died within the first five months, and another 75,000 were injured. Nagasaki takes readers from the morning of the bombing to the city today, telling the first-hand experiences of five survivors, all of whom were teenagers at the time of the devastation. Susan Southard has spent years interviewing hibakusha ("bomb-affected people") and researching the physical, emotional, and social challenges of post-atomic life. She weaves together dramatic eyewitness accounts with searing analysis of the policies of censorship and denial that colored much of what was reported about the bombing both in the United States and Japan. A gripping narrative of human resilience, Nagasaki will help shape public discussion and debate over one of the most controversial wartime acts in history. WINNER of the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize FINALIST for the Ridenhour Book Prize - Chautauqua Prize - William Saroyan International Prize for Writing - PEN Center USA Literary Award NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Economist - The Washington Post - American Library Association - Kirkus Reviews

Reviews
"Intense, deeply detailed, and compassionate account of the atomic bomb's effects on the people and city of Nagasaki, then and now.... A valiant, moving work of research certain to provoke vigorous discussion." -- Kirkus , starred review "[ Nagasaki ] provides the material and personal stories of one of the darkest days in human history.... One of the definitive histories of the end of World War II. Essential."-- Library Journal , starred review "Susan Southard does for Nagasaki what John Hersey did for Hiroshima, and more. She takes us beneath the mushroom cloud with harrowing, damning, eloquent intimacy--and then through ensuring decades of individual and civic recovery right up to the present day. Nagasaki: Life After Nuclear War is scrupulous, passionate, and compassionate history at its very best." --John W. Dower, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Embracing Defeat: Japan in the Wake of WWI I "Southard's vivid stories of five Nagasaki survivors powerfully illustrates the Second Atomic Bombing and 70 years of life in the Nuclear Age. This book is the most extraordinary account ever written by an American author."-- Dr. Tomonaga Masao, former Director of the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Hospital "Nagasaki has always been overshadowed by Hiroshima. In her moving documentation of the survivors of the second atomic bomb, Southard performs a great service in rescuing their stories from extinction. Seventy years on, as our memories fade, this book horrifyingly and sometimes beautifully brings the events and their aftermath alive again--and forces us to reexamine the supposed rationale for inflicting such misery." -- David Pilling, Asia Editor, Financial Times and author of Bending Adversity: Japan and the Art of Survival "Timely, masterful storytelling... A crucial, historical record woven with lessons learned that we must not forget."-- Lucy Birmingham, co-author of Strong in the Rain: Surviving Japan's Earthquake, Tsunami and Fukushima Nuclear Disaster "Beautifully written, weaving history and story."-- Sharman Apt Russell, author of Hunger: An Unnatural History , "Intense, deeply detailed, and compassionate account of the atomic bomb's effects on the people and city of Nagasaki, then and now.... A valiant, moving work of research certain to provoke vigorous discussion." -- Kirkus , starred review "[ Nagasaki ] provides the material and personal stories of one of the darkest days in human history....

A valiant, moving work of research certain to provoke vigorous discussion." -- Kirkus , starred review "The matter of our nuclear attacks on Japan is common enough in our history, but our sense of the true costs doesn't come out in our telling of the stories. Susan Southard's work with the stories of Japanese victims is profound and moving, an intersection of journalism and prose at its most poetic. It presents fact and moves us, as the best nonfiction does, to see through the haze of language into true experience." --Todd Peterson, fiction writer and 2008 Bill Desmond Writing Award judge "Beautifully written, weaving in history and story." --Sharman Apt Russell, author of Hunger: An Unnatural History
