Now a shell of a man, he lives in a cheap Hong Kong hotel, scrounging for food and the occasional bar girl. The locals call him \"Hiroshima Joe\" with a mixture of pity and contempt. But Joe--haunted by the sounds and voices of his past, debilitated by illness, and shattered by his wartime ordeal--is a man whose compassion and will to survive define a clear-eyed and unexpected heroism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53674765910289,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780312268053.jpg?v=1781535580","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-hiroshima-joe-by-martin-booth","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
