The Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivor testimonies are extremely powerful and I’m grateful I had the chance to read them. The nuclear bombs immediate and long reaching consequences to the Japanese people are hard to capture and to imagine.

I wanted to read this for the Japanese perspective and find out some more stuff about how / if it was strategically necessary.

Did USA need a second detonation to ensure Japanese surrender? No.
Did USA pick cities of civilians and not military targets? Yes.
That the USA denied medical care and knowledge to the Japanese survivors goes to show how cruel and inhumane the USA is.
