I also found the stories of the survivors compelling. I had more of a problem with the leaving the family thing.Capability :momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11150050870373586805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-43683129153697336782010-09-20T11:56:24.401-04:002010-09-20T11:56:24.401-04:00I love memoirs of just about any kind, and while H...I love memoirs of just about any kind, and while Hiroshima was a horrible time in history, I think we owe it to mankind to learn more about it.

It's the published diary of a doctor who was working in Hiroshima at the time of the bombing, and relates his and his patients' experiences afterwards. It's one of the best Hiroshima books I've read (not that I've read many).Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-14488024761884061462010-09-20T11:02:52.085-04:002010-09-20T11:02:52.085-04:00When I first noticed this book I didn't notice...When I first noticed this book I didn't notice that it was a memoir.
