I watched a documentary about Japanese survivors of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and I have been wanting to find books from that perspective. I ran across this on on accident on Audible, so I used my credit to get it. It is weird to say that I enjoyed this book, but I did. It kind of amazed me that the hospital that they used was still standing and somewhat functional. I cannot imagine how hard it was for medical professionals to treat something that they had no clue about. The radiation sickness is so torturous, I don't think I could bear it. So much was learned about the effects of radiation from this, that it has been beneficial for nuclear accidents and other exposures in the years since, but gosh. What a horrible thing.
