informative slow-paced

 I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in World War II/Pacific Theatre. Even as a World War II major in college, the focus was mainly directed toward a few key Pacific Battles and the rest was European Theatre based. I do not recall learning anything about the dropping of the bombs, beyond that they were dropped and other such basic facts. I saw a documentary on Netflix about survivors from the bombings, and was extremely interested in finding other materials about this subject. This book gave a detailed insight into what it was like in Nagasaki and Hiroshima in the aftermath. I learned a lot from it, and I consider this book to be one of the most valuable ones I have in my Pacific Theatre collection of World War II books.
