Praise for M.G. Sheftall's Embers Series: "A definitive account of a watershed moment in history."-- Kirkus on Nagasaki (Embers: Volume II ) "M.G. Sheftall's Hiroshima presents as a master class in eyewitness storytelling. As poignant as it is powerful, this gripping narrative chronicles one of history's darkest nightmare moments--the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in August 1945--and the memories of its surviving eyewitnesses. As the events fade from living memory, Hiroshima is at once a brilliant tribute and a cautionary tale."-- Annie Jacobsen, author of Nuclear War: A Scenario "An important, deep-dive book into most every detail about the atomic bomb's making and use, in anger. A strong argument for why it must never be allowed to be used for any reason whatsoever. This book adds significantly to the argument that we need to back up fast and return to nuclear arms reduction."-- Charles Pellegrino, author of To Hell and Back: The Last Train from Hiroshima "M.G. Sheftall takes us on a deep dive into one of the most significant and horrific events in world history. Hiroshima is a gripping, moving story of fear and shame, courage and grace, and a powerful argument that we should never, ever use these weapons again."-- Evan Thomas, author of Road to Surrender: Three Men and the Countdown to the End of World War II "A compelling analysis of the suffering endured by the citizens of Hiroshima in the aftermath of the dropping of the nuclear bomb on 6 August 1945. Written by a scholar who lives and works in Japan, and who has interviewed many of the last survivors, this is a book that offers valuable insights into Japanese thinking during the war and the subsequent struggle to rebuild the country."-- Laurence Rees, author of Auschwitz and The Holocaust, Praise for M.G. Sheftall's Embers Series: "Sheftall's meticulous, novelistic recreations are deeply immersive. It's an invaluable contribution to 20th century history." -- Publishers Weekly on Nagasaki (Embers: Volume II) (starred review) "A definitive account of a watershed moment in history."-- Kirkus on Nagasaki (Embers: Volume II ) "M.G.

Synopsis
The second volume in a prize-worthy two-book series based on years of irreplicable personal interviews with survivors about each of the atomic bomb drops, first in Hiroshima and then Nagasaki, that hastened the end of the Pacific War. On August 6, 1945, the United States unleashed a weapon unlike anything the world had ever seen. Then, just three days later, when Japan showed no sign of surrender, the United States took aim at Nagasaki. Rendered in harrowing detail, this historical narrative is the second and final volume in M. G. Sheftall's series Embers. Sheftall has spent years personally interviewing hibakusha --the Japanese word for atomic bomb survivors. These last living witnesses are a vanishing memory resource, the only people who can still provide us with reliable and detailed testimony about life in their cities before the use of nuclear weaponry. The result is an intimate, firsthand account of life in Nagasaki, and the story of incomprehensible devastation and resilience in the aftermath of the second atomic bomb drop. This blow-by-blow account takes us from the city streets, as word of the attack on Hiroshima reaches civilians, to the cockpit of Bockscar, when Charles Sweeney dropped "Fat Man," to the interminable six days while the world waited to see if Japan would surrender to the Allies--or if more bombs would fall., The second volume in a prize-worthy two-book series based on years of irreplicable personal interviews with survivors about each of the atomic bomb drops, first in Hiroshima and then Nagasaki, that hastened the end of the Pacific War.
