Books to read as we commemorate Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 2021
From Joseph Gerson:
Friends,
Two books, memoirs by among the most courageous Hibakusha, provide riveting information about the origins and organizing of the Hibakusha movement:
Burnt Yet Undaunted by Senji Yamaguchi, a lion of the movement, may still be available from Gensuikyo.
The Atomic Bomb on My Back by Taniguchi Sumiteru was published last year here by Rootstock Publishing. (Copies available from Campaign for Peace, Disarmament and Common Security at $20 each.)
And, for some of the nasty history, my books With Hiroshima Eyes and Empire and the Bomb: How the U.S. Uses Nuclear Weapons to Dominate the World can be found online.
