Hiroshima
BY JOHN HERSEY
Bantam
152pp.
$2.95
Forty years ago, John Hersey
wrote Hiroshima, telling the
stories of six people who survived
the tragic morning of August 6,
1945, and the days that followed.
In a new edition, Hersey has added a
compelling report on the ex -
periences of these people in the past
forty years. This report not only
reveals the effects of the disaster on
Hiroshima society, but challenges
the reader to think about the ethics
of atomic warfare today, as well.
The Japanese use the term
"hibakusha" meaning "explosion
affected persons," when referring to
the people who lasted through the
bombing, a term which also avoids
the connotations of death associated
with the word "survivor." Indeed,
Records
(Continued from Page 7)
Numbers like- "Twin Home -
towns," "I'm Not Afraid," and
"Song for an Angry Young Man"
have a forceful beat that demands
nothing less 'than high volume on
any stereo, and the tasteful addition
of a saxophone on "New Love" and
the central concern of the hibakusha
was not that they were spared from
death, but that a difficult struggle
lay ahead.
In the first part of this new
edition, each person reveals his
struggle during the first year.
Through these personal narratives,
the immediate effects of the bomb
are rendered with clarity and feeling.
In addition, Hersey poses some
ethical questions about the United
States' decision to drop the bomb,
which are still examined today:
"It seems logical that he who
supports total war in principle
cannot complain of a war against
civilians.
"The crux of the matter is
whether total war in its present
form is justifiable even when it
serves a just purpose. Does it have
material and spiritual evil as its
consequences which far exceed
whatever good might result?"
Hersey also explores the
physical effects of the bomb on the
hibakusha. Many suffer a "my -
sterious" bomb sickness, its
symptoms include weakness, diz -
ziness, digestive troubles, and an
overall feeling of oppression and
doom, arising from the awareness
that they and their descendants could
be affected at any time, even to this
day.
Each of the six tells about his
personal attempt to overcome the
effects of the bomb. Five of the
six hibakusha portray rather dismal
fates. They could not forget the day
and its results. However, Reverend
Tanimoto's story is different.
Through Tanimoto, Hersey reveals
how many people were able to
forgive the Americans and forget
the calamitous effects of the bomb.
Hersey writes:
"A gaudy phoenix had risen from
the ruinous desert of 1945. A
remarkably beautiful city of more
than a million inhabitants- only
hibited a strong American
influence. Tanimoto became wrap -
ped up in his efforts to raise money
for his church. He forgot about the
suffering, "His memory, like the
world's, was getting spotty."
Throughout the aftermath
chapter, Hersey slips in news
segments which reveal further
development and testing of the
atomic bomb around the world,
illustrating how people became
sentimentally blinded from the
actual results of the atomic bomb
and its implications for the future.
In a candid and moving style,
Hersey uncovers the details of a
story which time tends to forget.
Hiroshima reminds the reader of
the importance of remembering
history when considering present
and future world issues. Hersey.,
supplies the history, challenging
the reader to draw on it when
questioning the ethics of war today.
