THE FIRST ATOM BOMB

The first atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6,1945 and the next one was dropped on Nagasaki three days later. The devastation,shattering in its magnitude,broke the morale of the Axis Powers and put an end to World WarII.
The human side of the story,involving the death of millions and the mutilation of perhaps an equal number in Hiroshima has been movingly told by Marcel Junod, who was the chief of the unit of the International Red Cross stationed in Japan during World WarII, in his book.. Warrior Without Weapons. This extract describes Junod's visit to the scene of the annihilation three weeks after the event.
