Hiroshima Nagasaki
Japan 1945. Hundreds of thousands more succumbed to their horrific injuries, or slowly perished of radiation-related sickness. In one of the defining moments of the twentieth century, more than 100,000 people were killed instantly by two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki by US Air Force B29s.
Through their harrowing personal testimonies, we are reminded that these were ordinary people, given no warning and no chance to escape the horror. "Hiroshima Nagasaki" tells the story of the tragedy through the eyes of the survivors, from the twelve-year-olds forced to work in war factories to the wives and children who faced it alone. American leaders claimed that the bombings were 'our least abhorrent choice' and fell strictly on 'military targets'.
Even today, most people believe they ended the Pacific War and saved millions of American and Japanese lives. "Hiroshima Nagasaki" challenges this deep-set perception, revealing that the atomic bombings were the final crippling blow to the Japanese in a stratgic air war waged primarily against civilians.
