Prayers in Stone

Richly illustrated and with a wealth of materials never before available in English this book provides an overview of more than 200 of Nagasaki's A-bomb heritage sites. The entries are organized into a series of tours for the convenience of tourists actually visiting the city and to give the general reader a sense of the layout and proximity to the hypocenter. In addition to a foreword introduction postscript and reference section it includes translations of A-bomb literature written by several atomic survivors.
