Richly illustrated, and with a wealth of materials never before available in English, this book provides an overview of more than 200 of Nagasaki's A-bomb heritage sites. The entries are organized into a series of tours for the convenience of tourists actually visiting the city, and to give the general reader a sense of the layout and proximity to the hypocenter. In addition to a foreword, introduction, postscript, and reference section, it includes new translations of A-bomb literature written by several atomic survivors. Based on a one-year stay in the city by the authors. From the Foreword: " Finally, in keeping with the title of this book, I pray that the stories represented here will help to combat complacency about the threat of nuclear weapons, an attitude that is growing ever more pervasive as the collective experience of Hiroshima and Nagasaki fades into history."
