A grim reminder of the 'other' atomic bomb city,
By
This review is from: Nagasaki Journey: The Photographs of Yosuke Yamahata August 10, 1945 (Paperback)
This compilation presents an extensive photographic record of the immediate aftermath of the bombing of Nagasaki with accompanying text. Published on the 50th anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it shows the horrendous aftermath of the bombing through reprints of digitally restored negatives from pictures taken just a few days after the critical juncture in history. The photos are accompanied by bilingual text in Japanese and English, including an interview with the photographer, a work of fiction, and extensive biographical and chronological materials. The graphic contents may not be suitable for certain readers.-From the Alsos Digital Library for Nuclear Issues

This review is from: Nagasaki Journey: The Photographs of Yosuke Yamahata August 10, 1945 (Paperback)
The photographs range from being as shocking as you'd expect to surprisingly mundane. The value of the book for me is its documentation of a horrible crime, not justly remembered, committed by a democratic country, for the purpose of intimidating the other WWII surviving superpower. You get what you expect from this book - it's not beautiful, and not a coffee table book, but it serves some use i think.
