I grew to hate Ralph Edwards and that simpering smile as he forced his innocent stunned victims sit and watch their lives exposed before millions of strangers on nation-wide television

I just ordered it - I recall sitting w/a flashlight in my horrible home reading Hersey's book How my family allowed it is a miracle for my enlightenment at a young age of the monstrous ways of our gov This book augured my plans of escape My home thought Hitler had a good idea.

We just finished watching the documentary WWII with Tom Hanks. It's well done and doesn't pull any punches, at least none that I know about. Thanks for posting this, I'll be reading it soon.

Hey, David, tell your Merchant-Ivory friend that if they really want to do a serious movie on John Hersey, they need to buy the rights to Lesley M.M. Blume's deeply researched 2020 book "Fallout: The Hiroshima Cover-up and the Reporter Who Revealed It to the World."
