Nagasaki: Life After Nuclear War

Who hasn't occasionally wondered what it might be like to live through a nuclear attack? Certainly during the Cold War it was a realistic contemplation. In Nagasaki, Susan Southard provides a minute-by-minute account of just such an experience through interviews with four survivors of the Nagasaki bombing. She carefully explains how they came to be in their exact position and orientation with respect to ground zero, what they experienced at the time of the blast, their responses in the first several days, and then their long process of recovery from their physical injuries.
