| Summary | No one recognized the flashes of bright light that filled the sky. The blast wave that followed seemed to strike with no sound at all. In that silence came the dawn of atomic death for two hundred thousand souls in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Based on years of forensic archaeology combined with interviews of more than two hundred survivors and their families, this is an immediate account of ordinary human beings thrust into extraordinary events, during which our modern civilization entered a nuclear adolescence. |
