		It is a non-fiction account that resulted from Hersey's interviews of six survivors of the blast from the atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima.
		Hersey concludes the stories with a report of where each victim is at this point in his or her life a year after the bomb had fallen.
		Hersey avoided making himself a part of the account so the readers' experience is as direct as possible until the final chapter when he adds a bit of style with the addition of atomic events taking place in the world.

	Hiroshima and the Japanese Government

		Hiroshima was decimated with a 15 kiliton blast.

		Hersey's unforgettable narrative, which is built round the experiences of six survivors in a city where some 100,000 men, women and children were killed, supplies an epitaph to those who died in one of history's most catastrophic events and a grave warning to the present and the future.
		Masuji Ibuse was born in Hiroshima in 1898.
		The Hiroshima Maidens is both a warning and an encouragement : the horrors of nuclear weapons are vividly brought out in the devasting effects which the bomb had on the lives of the young girls; yet their courage and resilience remind us of human values which may yet triumph.

		Either way you argue, Hersey's Hiroshima shows the true nature of the bomb from when it was dropped, the after effects, and the resulting long term medical problems the Hibukusha had to live with for the rest of their lives.
		Hersey does a great job showing what happened, with people whose lives are all interrelated and connected in sundry ways, as well as to show how their lives carried on in the years after the A-bomb had been dropped.
		Hersey takes the reader through the city's "clouded air...giving off a thick, dreadful miasma" primarily through the subjective lens of those who saw it first-hand, but he doesn't limit his reporting to that narrow scope.

		This renders the sentence virtually meaningless, yet it is this lack of meaning that Hersey deliberately crafts to encapsulate the utter incomprehensibility that these people, and the population as a whole, feels regarding the issue of this event and its implications for humanity.
		In the course of Hiroshima, Hersey echoes this statement when he depicts a scene in which Father Kleinsorge visits Miss Sasaki in the hospital and she questions his faith.
		Hersey assumes the reader has lived through the war, is current on all the pertinent details of the air- and ground-battle, so he wastes no printed space on the world leaders, generals, or military brigades in favor of devoting all of his energy to the civilians.

	Hiroshima by John Hersey (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Hiroshima was written shortly after the U.S. dropped the first atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima.
		The witnesses chosen by Hersey, "who were among the luckiest in Hiroshima" (p87), insofar as they were not instantly vaporized, burned to a cinder or flayed alive, are wonderfully diverse.
		Hersey partially answered this question by mentioning that in the afternoon of August 6, "the asphalt of the streets was still so soft and hot from the fires that walking was uncomfortable." So some of the horrors endured by the Germans must have been repeated there too.

	Hiroshima (Hersey) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hiroshima (ISBN 0-679-72103-7) is the title of a magazine article written by Pulitzer Prize winner John Hersey that appeared in The New Yorker in August 1946, exactly one year after the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima, Japan, at 8:15 a.m., August 6, 1945.
		Influenced by Father Kleinsorge, Toshiko Sasaki had become a nun, after caring for her three younger siblings.

	The Day We Dropped the Bomb: Radio Reading of 'Hiroshima' Speaks to a New Generation
		Tyne Daly was born a year after the first atom bomb fell on Hiroshima, but she remembers the worldwide shadows it cast: the practice air-raid drills, the duck-and-cover exercises, the generic Strangelovian foreboding.
		Hersey intentionally wrote his story -- which was published in the New Yorker in August 1946 and later became a best-selling book -- in a flat, almost dispassionate style, which emphasized the nearly unimaginable misery and devastation he recorded.
		Hersey certainly recognized this, including in his story a letter from a Jesuit priest musing on the human tradeoffs inherent in "total war." Valentine's adaptation leaves this coda intact, preserving the chillingly murky meaning of Hiroshima, and of "Hiroshima."

	John Hersey: Hiroshima - Palimpsest
		The book follows six hibakusha (Hiroshima survivors, or in the restrained literal translation from Japanese, "explosion-affected persons") through the moments before, during and after the dropping of the bomb at 8:15 in the morning of 6 August 1945.
		These are scenes of mayhem and terror, but also of confusion and complacency, as those affected presumed they were the survivors of a cluster of conventional weapons, unaware of the medium- and long-term effects that the bomb, 'Little Boy,' would have on their bodies and minds.
		All were civilians going about their daily business, saved by random chance (one looks away from a window at the moment the bomb explodes, another wears white and not fl, helping deflect the searing heat from their skin), and affected to varying degrees.

		Hersey's attempt to escape the necessity to mediate the bombing of Hiroshima may simply reflect a belief in the transparency of plain language.
		Hersey's account of the blast also inspired many readers to condemn America for its use of the bomb: "I am bitterly humiliated," wrote one reader, "that my country should have been the one to first (or at all) invoke this method of warfare" (Yavenditti 294).
		Hersey makes this point in order to stress the bomb's ability to alter radically the survivors' relationships to their environment, each other, and their own physical, emotional, and psychological states.

		The overwhelming sense one gets from these stories is of ordinary people living their lives as best they can amid the privations and arbitrary tyrannies of war; coping, in much the same way as did the inhabitants of London during the Blitz or the denizens of the Warsaw Ghetto.
		Hersey’s manner of telling is unmistakably journalistic; sparse and measured descriptions of a cumulative horror and a dawning realization among the people in the days and weeks following the bombing that the worst was not over with the explosion.
		John Hersey’s account of Hiroshima has in common with Schindler’s Ark and Primo Levi’s books about the Holocaust the sheer necessity of telling; the urgency of the message forces a clarity and simplicity on the writing.
