Hiroshima by Jason Hook
This title describes the bombing of Hiroshima in moment-by-moment detail - bringing to life the horror of this day as it happened. It also looks at the lead up to the day, explaining how and why it came about as well as looking at the implications of what happened in the wider context of 20th century history. Real life accounts are included in moment-in-time boxes which act as a freeze frame of people's thoughts and emotions as the dropping of the first nuclear bomb took place.
