Wow,
@NewYorker
features John Hershey’s historic 31k-word story on “Hiroshima” from 1946–still one of the most important accounts of the bomb ever published.

A hundred thousand people were killed by the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. Six survivors recount their experiences of the bombing and its aftermath, wondering why they lived when so many others died. nyer.cm/lpyasJ8

I have read the Hershey piece a number of times lately for a project. Perhaps the best piece of journalism I have ever read. I spent a lot of time in Hiroshima & Nagasaki with the USN & that experience just elevated the Hershey article.

I appreciate this memorial about my father by @ggrenwald above any I have read today--for his comprehensive review of his bio & history, for his attention to themes generally overlooked about his post-Vietnam life, but particularly for deep appreciation of his human qualities.🙏
