Synopsis

This title describes the bombing of Hiroshima in moment-by-moment detail - bringing to life the horror of this day as it happened.

Real life accounts are included in moment-in-time boxes which act as a freeze frame of people's thoughts and emotions as the dropping of the first nuclear bomb took place.
