It is the story of a young Japanese girl's experience living through the world's first atomic bomb and its aftermath. This special edition features a new cover and interior art section by Leonarda Boughton, commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKazuko Blake, now in her 90s, is one of few remaining survivors of that event. The atomic bomb was dropped while she was in 6th grade, and she remembers the events clearly. Here she describes the relatively carefree days before the war, the increased tempo of war through her elementary school days, and August 6, 1945, the day the bomb fell. The chaos and disruption are palpable as she describes the following days of uncertainty and confusion during evacuation, surrender, and occupation of her home country. In time, she met some of those victors, and she concludes her story with impressions of them and her eventual move to the country of her former enemy. It was a time of great change for Japan, and she shares her observations of it in this engaging memoir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kazuko Blake\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798990803244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wide Angle LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Kazuko Blake","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47424887849215,"sku":"9798990803244","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6757b659-36de-4423-ae1a-6b0fface4391.jpg?v=1761533195","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kazuko-kazuko-blake-9798990803244","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
