Hiroshima by John Hersey

Hiroshima by John Hersey

I thought the book was cool because it tells 6 different prospectives on when the bomb drops , the aftermath, and how they recovered. The peoples names are Miss Toshiko Sasaki, Dr. Masakazu Fujll, Mrs. Hatsuyo Nakamura, father Kleinsorge, Dr. Terufmi Sasaki, and reverend Tanimoto. A hundred thousand people died buy these six survived. How many people described it was a white flash going through the sky and boom a huge shack and what ever houses were standing were now ruble. Everything around the sight of the bomb was engulfed in flames and that’s how 50% of the people died was from burns. After the fires had burned themselves out scientists who weren’t hurt started doing testing on what was in the bomb and why all these people got really sick. In the end of the chaos 25% of people died from radiation poisoning and all the others died from falling buildings or other factors.

On a scale of 1 (worst) to 10 (best) I give this book a rating of: 5
