There are good reasons for writing a book about the atom bombing of
Nagasaki and its agonizing aftermath. Most people have heard of
Hiroshima. The second bomb — dropped by an Irish-American pilot almost
exactly above the largest Catholic church in Asia, which killed more
than 70,000 civilians on the day and more in the long term — is less
well known.
