Abstract

Ever since the very day the first atomic bomb was dropped on hiroshima at 8:15 AM, on August 6th, 1945, a question of "moral or not?" sprang up in people's minds, even in the minds of the victims. Some people say the US did right in dropping the bomb to force Japan's surrender, even though it killed thousands of innocent people, while others say this is totally inhumane and should have never been done. This book is apparently written to draw its audience towards the latter of the two opinions. Its gruesome descriptions of the wounded and thorough details of the lives of the six survivors may work wonders with some people, to draw a ton of sympathy. I think the author, john hersey, is more against than for the hiroshima bombing, because the book is about the suffering of the people, not the triumph of the US government.
