The start of the third chapter shows the Japanese doctors in the army to care only for their station. Why do they care about their post more than the survivors?

Hiroshima makes me wonder what could justify that level of destruction. And while it is true that the bomb ended the war and saved American lives, couldn't we

have found a solution that didn't utterly destroy others lives?

In History, I learned about the dropping of the atomic bomb, yet had no insight into the TRUE repercussions for everyday people till I read this story.

The tales of those people's struggles truly make you appreciate what you have and make you see how easily it all can be taken away.

One of the many things that astonished me about the book was the Japanese peoples' explanations for the destruction... How come it took so long for them to

figure out that it was actually an atomic bomb?

Thank you for bringing up the reality that was theirs--a pre-nuclear. They lived in a different age, didn't they!
