Summary
Censored in 1945 and unpublished for sixty years, a collection of dispatches by the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist records the first eyewitness observations of the devasted Japanese city of Nagasaki, along with the accounts of Allied prisoners who recalled the dropping of the bomb and their years of torture and captivity in Japanese POW camps. Simultaneous.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: On September 6, 1945, less than a month after the atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, George Weller, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, became the first free Westerner to enter the devastated city. Going into hospitals and consulting doctors of the bomb's victims, he was the first to document its unprecedented medical effects. He also became the first to enter the Allied POW camps, which rivaled Nazi camps for cruelty and bested them for death count. Among the prisoners' untold stories was of their voyage to imprisonment in Japan on "hellships" that transported them so inhumanely that one third of them died in transit. Heavily censored by General MacArthur, most of these dispatches were never published and believed lost--until now. This historic body of work is a stirring reminder of the courage of rogue reporting that ferrets out the truth.
