- Synopsis
- In was on 6 September 1945 that American journalist Weller (1907-2002) entered the Japanese city that had received an American atomic bomb on 9 August. His dispatches--sometimes several a day--were censored and destroyed by US General MacArthur. Weller salvaged his carbon copies, but they were lost as he traveled around the globe. His son Arthur, novelist and musician, recently discovered them, and publishes them here. They are not indexed. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
