In this episode we discuss Hiroshima by John Hersey which follows the tragic events of August 6th, 1945 through the eyes of six survivors. It was published in The New Yorker in August 1946 and was put to print as a book shortly after, with a revision after John Hersey followed up with his survivors. It is a personal, moving, and sometimes horrific, peek into the very heart of an event that shook humanity and shaped the course of human history.
As a side note, keep an eye out for a special release in tandem with Black History Month, in which we read and discuss Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates. And our new co-host Danny will be joining us!
