Bombing_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki

Bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki On the dates of August 6th and August 9th a major impact on national history was made. Many of us Americans were taking part in our normal every day routines, meanwhile the United States military was dropping a Nuclear Hydrogen bomb on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Most of the Pearl Harbor revenge seekers were glad, while few sensitive mourned the dropping. Whichever one you were, you conceded that this devastating military action was in order to eradicate us from war. On the flip side of the coin, the people who lived in the city of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that were now dead, hurt, or missing, felt the wrath of war and felt it hard. Thousands of people were killed, but some survivors lived to tell the story. Many people have different perspectives on if a weapon of this magnitude should have been implemented. Writer John Hersey interviewed a survivor of the Hiroshima bombing named Hatsuyo Nakamura. In Hersey’s writings he clearly states the effects of the atomic bomb on Nakamura’s life then and throughout her life. Hersey describes Nakamura’s health throughout his work.
