À propos de ce contenu audio
On the 80th anniversary of the devastating bombing of Hiroshima, the stories of the hibakusha are more important than ever.
The stories of hibakusha - Japanese for atomic bomb survivors - lie at the heart of this compelling minute-by-minute account of 6 August 1945 - the day the world changed forever as the Enola Gay dropped its payload over Hiroshima, ushering in the nuclear age. These survivors and witnesses, now with an average age of over 90, are the last people alive who can still provide us with reliable and detailed testimony about life in Hiroshima before the bombings. In this heart-stopping account they relay what they experienced on the day the city was obliterated, and what it has been like to live with those memories and scars over the rest of their lives.
M. G. Sheftall has spent years personally interviewing survivors who were just adolescents at the time but have lived well into their nineties, allowing him to construct portraits of what Hiroshima was like before the bomb, and how catastrophically its citizens' lives changed in the seconds, minutes, days, weeks, months and years afterwards. Fluent in spoken and written Japanese, his deep immersion in Japanese society has given him unprecedented access to the hibakusha in their waning years. Their trust in him is evident in the personal and traumatic depths they open up for him as he records their stories.
The result is a deeply human history of an unfathomable tragedy, which continues to haunt the world today.©2024 M.G. Sheftall (P)2024 Headline Publishing Group Limited

A compelling analysis of the suffering endured by the citizens of Hiroshima in the aftermath of the dropping of the nuclear bomb on 6 August 1945. Written by a scholar who lives and works in Japan, and who has interviewed many of the last survivors, this is a book that offers valuable insights into Japanese thinking during the war and the subsequent struggle to rebuild the country. (Laurence Rees, author of Auschwitz and The Holocaust)
M. G. Sheftall takes us on a deep dive into one of the most significant and horrific events in world history. Hiroshima is a gripping, moving story of fear and shame, courage and grace, and a powerful argument that we should never, ever use these weapons again. (Evan Thomas, author of Road to Surrender: Three Men and the Countdown to the End of World War II)
a sweeping and vivid account of the bombing and its aftermath . . . Mr. Sheftall describes events in fascinating, often grisly detail. The author is an ideal Virgil for such a nightmarish journey (Meghan Cox Gurdon)
