This episode of the KTEP Book Club focuses on "NAGASAKI: Life After Nuclear War" by Susan Southard, the first book since 1945 to chronicle the enduring impact of nuclear war on those who survived the attack on Nagasaki. Southard provides a heart-wrenching close study of a city post-atomic bomb, as seen through the lives of five survivors and the many others struggling, to this day, with the destruction wrought by the US’s controversial decision to use nuclear weapons on Japan.
