One of the most extraordinary records of human calamity and courage in the history of letters. * Newsweek * Comes closer to telling the real story than anything I have seen outside of Japan. * Norman Cousins * I have read it through as a sitting... It is a simple and unpretentious account of compassion, sorrow, and great courage. * Robert Oppenheimer * A book that we all ought to read in order that we may know what we have done and what will happen in the future if the atomic weapons continue to be used. * Pearl Buck, author of The Good Earth *
