Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

In this nonfiction book based on true events, it has information telling us the days in Hiroshima and Hiroshima. It informs us that what these Japanese people did before the bomb to stay protected. But, when a false alarm was sent in Hiroshima, everyone went back to their normal schedule, and thus the bomb was dropped. It then explains how U.S. dropped the bomb because of what the Japanese first started. Yet they got together many scientists to help create the bomb that was dropped. After, it says how everything in the city was now rubble but it was better in Nagasaki because the mountains took most hits.. The buildings and streets weren't the only things to get destroyed in the city, many people have died from this, and if the bomb didn't kill them, they lye there burnt, with skin hanging off, everything burned off, and in need of water. The only water that came was rain, but it was full of radiation and rain. After the bombing in Nagasaki, the Emperor of Japan now surrendered and the war was now over. Even after the war, the victims still live with these horrible scars and disabilities then they get discriminated for. On the other hand, every year on August 6th, many people come to and old monument that was left over from the bomb, light candles, and let lanterns go with the dead family members names on it.

As a result of reading this book, I really thought it was informative and would be really great for someone else to read this book if they didn't know what happened in the bombing. I liked how the book was really focused on the bombing because it gave some information about what also happened in Germany and the Soviet Union. Although if you did know about the happenings in WWII I would still suggest you read this book because it tells more details about the days after the bombing. It was a really good idea when I read that the Emperor has finally sent out a radio cast that he has surrendered. If he hadn't, half a million Americans would be dead if the war kept going as they invaded Japan. Also, for the Japanese to have no hatred, because they are happy the war is finally over, is very brave. We hurt innocent, and they aren't mad, for them to just do the same rituals every year I see the Japan should have pride.
