THE LEGACY OF HIROSHIMA
Its Past, Our Future
by Naomi Shohno
This book examines the disastrous
impact of nuclear weapons from a dual perspective: their enormous destructive
power and their medical, psychological, and human costs. The author, a nuclear
physicist, recapitulates the August 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki, documenting his account with testimony from survivors and numerous
tables revealing the stark statistics of the human tragedy. After reviewing
the development of nuclear arms and considering the probable effects of
nuclear war using today's more powerful weapons, the author concludes with
a heartfelt appeal that we learn from Hiroshima by banning nuclear arms.
"An admirable and essential presentation of the facts and realities
of past and future atomic warfare." --Asahi Evening News
NAOMI SHOHNO, D.Sc., is a professor at Hiroshima Jogakuin College and the author of several books on the effects of nuclear weapons.
