Sachiko Yasui was six years old when an atomic bomb was dropped on her city of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. It wasn’t until 50 years later that she could begin to share the “unspeakable seconds” of the bombing, the struggle to survive, the deaths of her siblings from radiation sickness, her own thyroid cancer and her survivor’s guilt. Complete with plenty of photos and historical information, anyone with an interest in WWII will find this a fascinating memoir.
