The Last Train from Hiroshima: The Survivors Look Back ハードカバー – 2010/1/19
Drawing on the voices of atomic-bomb survivors and the new science of forensic archaeology, Charles Pellegrino describes the events and aftermath of two days in August when nuclear devices detonated over Japan changed life on Earth forever
Last Train from Hiroshima offers readers a stunning you are there time capsule, gracefully wrapped in elegant prose. Charles Pellegrinos scientific authority and close relationship with the A-bombs survivors make his account the most gripping and authoritative ever written.
At the narratives core are eyewitness accounts of those who experienced the atomic explosions firsthandthe Japanese civilians on the ground and the American flyers in the air. Thirty people are known to have fled Hiroshima for Nagasakiwhere they arrived just in time to survive the second bomb. One of them, Tsutomu Yamaguchi, is the only person who experienced the full effects of the cataclysm at ground zero both times. The second time, the blast effects were diverted around the stairwell in which Yamaguchi had been standing, placing him and a few others in a shock coccoon that offered protection, while the entire building disappeared around them.
Pellegrino weaves spellbinding stories together within an illustrated narrative that challenges the official report, showing exactly what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasakiand why.

I found the description of the detonation of Little Boy to be very useful in explaining to my students how quickly a nuclear weapon functions.
We have become so defensive about the decision to become the only country to use nuclear weapons that we have forgotten the human toll. The survivors themselves have not spoken out. I never want my students to forget that every decision has a consequence.
Mr. Pelligrino gives life to those who cannot speak for themselves. The book is well written, compelling, and terrifying. The last time I was this horrified was when I read "The Night Hamburg Died" when I was 11.
The descriptions contained in The Last Train from Hiroshima are appropriately searing and will leave a permanent scar on the mind. Anyone who gives even a moment of thought to the use of nuclear weapons should have to read this from cover to cover. The toll in suffering is beyond description but a sliver of understanding is offered on pages which detail unimaginable horrors, while maintaining human scale.
The power of this book cannot be overstated. It left me reeling for many days.
I ordered the audio version by mistake but it didn't make any difference.
Extremely informative and graphic descriptions of the aftermath of the bombs.
