		John Hersey uses facts and the recollections of those who survived to weave a truely remarkable tale of what happens when one decision changes the lives of many.
		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.
		John Hersey took a bold step in investigating the lives and experiences of those who were on the receiving end of the birth of the Atomic Age.

		Hersey's hands, the American's discoveries of his own mind and of the Chinese people are dwarfed by the laws, the demands and the ageless vitality of the Yangtze."
		Hersey does do a good job presenting the clash between traditional Chinese culture and modern Western culture in the early twentieth century.
		Hersey was obviously influenced by Hemingway even though the tone was a little lighter than Hemingway's is. Unfortunately for me, I'm not a big fan of Hemingway's style; so the novel came across as pretty boring.

	CD Baby: JOHN MICHAEL HERSEY: Whirligig
		With New York City based singer-songwriter Hersey's latest effort Whirligig, we see a greater emphasis on Modern Rock styles in the Elvis Costello/Joe Jackson mode, and less of a reliance on the Roots Rock or Americana of his previous CD, Soup Du Jour.
		This is not to say that Hersey and band have forsaken their Country, Blues and Rockabilly influences, which always seem to be lurking beneath the surface.
		This is rock music for grown-ups of all ages (and their inner children); for those whose concerns have gone beyond the simpler and more straight-forward angst of the teen and twenty-something years to the more complicated and, alas, much more angst-filled days of thirty-something and beyond.

		John Hersey's original manuscript/account of the bleak aftermath of the Hiroshima bombing is shocking to the extreme, but also deeply moving, compelling and a fantastic read.
		I hadn't read Hersey's book then - I hadn't really read anything specific about it, just had the same general knowledge as everyone else - and so I had no anchor, no coherent viewpoint to cling to, and I was overwhelmed.
		Five years on, reading Hersey's lucid, simple, humane, and terrifyingly human account of 6th August 1945 and its various aftermaths, those physical and emotional sensations resurfaced (and I nearly cried when I finished it, in the public foyer of my place of work).
