Nagasaki: The Last Witnesses by M. G. Sheftall, 2025

The second volume in a prize-worthy two-book series based on years of irreplicable personal interviews with survivors about each of the atomic bomb drops, first in Hiroshima and then Nagasaki, that hastened the end of the Pacific War.

@bookstodon





On August 6, 1945, the United States unleashed a weapon unlike anything the world had ever seen. Then, just three days later, when Japan showed no sign of surrender, the United States took aim at Nagasaki.
Rendered in harrowing detail, this historical narrative is the second and final volume in M. G. Sheftall’s series Embers. Sheftall has spent years personally interviewing hibakusha—the Japanese word for atomic bomb survivors. These last living witnesses are a vanishing memory resource, the only people who can still provide us with reliable and detailed testimony about life in their cities before the use of nuclear weaponry.

Ghosts of Hiroshima by Charles Pellegrino, 2025

SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM ACADEMY AWARD–WINNING FILMMAKER JAMES CAMERON

From the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of Her Name, Titanic, this masterpiece of nonfiction arrives in time to honor the eightieth anniversary of the bomb dropping on Hiroshima.

For all humanity, it was, literally and figuratively, childhood's end.

@bookstodon





No one recognized the flashes of bright light that filled the sky. Survivors described colors they couldn't name. The blast wave that followed seemed to strike with no sound. In that silence came the dawn of atomic death for two hundred thousand souls.
On August 6, 1945, twenty-nine-year-old naval engineer Tsutomu Yamaguchi was on the last day of a business trip, looking forward to returning home to his wife and infant son, when the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. He survived the atomic blast and got on a train to Nagasaki, only to be bombed again.

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

Person after person has said to me in these last few days that this new world we face terrifies them. I can understand how that feeling would arise unless one believes that men are capable of greatness beyond their past achievements. The times have usually brought us a leader when we needed him. The times now call for mankind as a whole to rise to great heights.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1945-08-10), “My Day”

Iran perhaps to leave the NPA (Non proliferation act).

"Iran says parliament is preparing bill to leave nuclear non-proliferation treaty"

A treaty Israel has not signed, of course.

📽️ "Cloak and Dagger," dir. Fritz Lang (Warner Bros., 1946), is good as a thriller and as a war film. Unfortunately, it never develops its initial premise, the international race to develop the atomic bomb.

> I received this rose as a bare root—a body disconnected from the soil. When I brought it through the airport in my luggage, I was anxious because it had a little label that read, “Atom Bomb.” I realized, then, that Rosa floribunda “Atom Bomb” was inherently political — not only in its name but also in terms of how it moves around the planet.
