Description

Discover the untold history of the Nisei caught in the middle of World War II. In August 1945, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki changed the world forever. While much of the history focuses on the broader conflict, this book brings to light the specific experiences of 4,000 Nisei (Japanese Americans) who were in Hiroshima at the time. These individuals, the children of Japanese immigrants sent to Japan for education, faced a tragic reality during the atomic blast. This work commemorates the 3,000 Nisei who lost their lives in the bombing and provides a detailed account of the 1,000 hibakusha who survived. It follows their difficult journey as they returned to the West Coast after the war. This book explores the complex identity of these survivors, who were often viewed as foreigners in wartime Japan and treated as enemies upon their return to America. It is a necessary addition to any collection focused on Asian American history and the human impact of the atomic age.
