The Story of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

General MacArthur was able to keep a lid on the worst effects for a fair amount of time longer than you'd think. With such a massive story involving so many people the truth was bound to get out Eventually in the year after the bombing two journalists almost got the stories of Hiroshima and Nagasaki out to the rest of the world But both were stopped just short of publishing by the government. The man who finally got the word out though was a Pulitzer prize winner in fiction named John Hersey Who not only brought the story of the bombings to the world but revolutionized nonfiction writing with his report on Hiroshima.
