You're welcome, Hamlet53, I hope you find it interesting and stimulating.

The whole point to Hiroshima is that it isn't cold-blooded and scientific, but rather a very personal account of the effects on individuals who survived. As told directly to John Hersey who went to Hiroshima "while the ground was still warm". I neither need nor want to read the cold blooded scientific facts of a nuclear bomb -- I grew up understanding those all too well. What interests me, and the reason I nominated Hiroshima, is the story of people. When I read, whether fiction or non-fiction, it's almost always about the people or characters that keeps me interested and reading.
