On those exposed to the initial blast: "The hurt ones were quiet... none of the many who died did so noisily; not even the children cried".  nico_macdonald | Aug 10, 2009 |  I read this as a junior in high school and decided that I would not join the military. (  ) mattearls | Jul 12, 2009 | The story of Hiroshima told through the tales of 6 survivors. Poignant and harrowing, this is worth reading, if only so people will know the horrors of atomic weapons and their aftermath. (  )1  Meggo | Apr 25, 2009 | Antipodean | Jan 19, 2009 | This collection did for me what countless other accounts have failed to do - It has made the victims of Hiroshima into people, not statistics. Countless times throughout history class we have been told the number of deaths and injuries without truly comprehending them as individuals (like ourselves). Hersey shows the lives of these Japanese survivors in terms that we can understand and empathize with. His descriptions are graphic ans clear, transporting the reader straight into the atrocity.
