The Doctor Of Hiroshima by Michihiko Hachiya
A firsthand medical diary chronicling the immediate aftermath of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, written by the physician who ran a makeshift hospital amid devastation; it recounts the chaos of injured and dying patients, the mystery and progression of radiation sickness, shortages of supplies, and the emotional and physical toll on survivors and caregivers alike. Through clinical observations, personal reflections, and intimate portraits of individuals and the shattered city, the account conveys both the horror of sudden destruction and the quiet resilience and compassion that emerged as people struggled to treat wounds, bury the dead, and begin recovery.
