Despite Familiar Images Of The Dropping Of The Atomic Bomb On Japan And The Controversy Over Its Fiftieth Anniversary, The Human Impact Of Those Horrific Events Often Seems Lost To View. In This Uncommon Memoir, Dr. James N. Yamazaki Tells Us In Personal And Moving Terms Of The Human Toll Of Nuclear Warfare And The Specific Vulnerability Of Children To The Effects Of These Weapons.
