His matter-of -fact interpretation revels how little modern portrayals of the bombing compare with reality. The destruction wrought upon the Japanese people at Hiroshima is not to be underestimated, however, Hachiya bares facts that today seem unbelievable in light of the vast devastation. For all his suffering and all he has been witness to, Hachiya demonstrates little resentment towards the Americans who completely altered his way of life. A profound book that is both troubling in its imagery and beautiful in its language. No less poignant today than so many years ago."; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 244 pages .
