"On the morning of 9 August, 1945, the residents of Nagasaki rose to resume their desperate wartime struggle for existence, as military defeat loomed in the aftermath of the devastating attack on Hiroshima three days before. By the early afternoon, their city was rubble, 40,000 were dead, and as many more again would loose their fight for life by the end of that year. One single bomb, Fat Man, wrought all that dealth and destruction. Who chose to do this? How did events unfold, hour by hour, before and after the cataclysm? And how did it feel to survive it? Nagasaki reveals all."--Back cover
