Description:

Sherrow, Victoria/ Hiroshima/ New York/ Maxwell Macmillan International, 1994. This is an introductory book about the Hiroshima bombing for young people. The author describes the story surrounding the atomic bombing, including the development of atomic bombs, wartime politics, and civilians' immeasurable suffering. The author concludes that all of us are in a sense “survivors” of Hiroshima because of the fact that human beings now have the ability, with nuclear weapons, to destroy all life on the planet Earth. 若い世代向けの広島の被爆に関する入門書。科学者による原爆の開発や政府による戦争の遂行の陰で、一般市民の被る計り知れない苦しみを説明している。地球を絶滅させるほどの核兵器を保有している現実から、人類は皆ヒロシマの生き残りであると結論している。
