Requests:  0 Summary:  Just days after the United States decimated Hiroshima and Nagasaki with nuclear bombs, the Japanese surrendered unconditionally. But the US government and military had begun a secret propaganda and information suppression campaign to hide the devastating nature of these experimental weapons. Occupation forces closed the atomic cities to Allied reporters, preventing leaks about the horrific long-term effects of radiation which would kill thousands during the months after the blast. For nearly a year the cover-up worked-- until New Yorker journalist John Hersey got into Hiroshima and managed to report the truth to the world. Blume shares this piece of hidden history, and shows how this knowledge has remained among the greatest deterrents to using nuclear weapons since the end of World War II. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.54252 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54252 Blume Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54252 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54252 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54252 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54252 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54252 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList
