that changes your perspective on a topic? Hiroshima was a book written by John Hersey‚ depicting the lives of six individuals that survived the atomic bomb of 1945.

In Japan‚ "hibakusha" means "the people affected by the explosion." The devastation left by the atomic bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima served as a reminder of the damage that it can do. The Manhattan Project began the development and research of nuclear weaponry. The dual bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki forced Japan to surrender to the Allies on August 15

However‚ both works correlate to each other because at the end their message is simple: war inevitably causes death. Upon reading these works‚ I thought to myself how World War II is taught in the simplest form during history class in middle school. I never had a professor who explicitly went into detail of the horrors of World War II‚ therefore taking
