Description
Charles Pellegrino's To Hell and Back: The Last Train from Hiroshima is a gripping account of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, told through the voices of survivors and the latest forensic archaeology. This "you are there" time capsule offers a unique perspective on one of the most pivotal moments in history. Drawing on eyewitness accounts and scientific research, Pellegrino sheds new light on the events of August 1945, when nuclear devices changed the course of life on Earth forever. The focus is on Hiroshima, the first city targeted, but Pellegrino also explores the bombing of Nagasaki, and the remarkable story of Tsutomu Yamaguchi, who experienced both blasts. An illustrated narrative challenges the official reports, providing a detailed and compelling picture of what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This enhanced edition includes an e-book version with never-before-seen video clips of the survivors, their descendants, and the cities as they are today.
