Sale!By David Krieger Tadatoshi Akiba, Mayor of Hiroshima, said of this book: "Nuclear weapons have done enough damage. The tragedy that Hiroshima and Nagasaki have experienced must never happen to anyone anywhere ever again. In this book, David Krieger has combined reason, passion, and aesthetic skill to convey this fundamental message of the hibakusha. In a few carefully crafted, poetic pages, he presents facts and feelings that reaffirm a profound truth: the only constructive mission of nuclear weapons lies in their total abolition. Krieger has made a significant contribution to that end."

By Frank K. Kelly "Here is a work on Truman that puts a clearer light on his optimism and his belief in human potential than other biographies.

Frank Kelly, perhaps more than anyone else, was in a position to appreciate this and to help articulate it." -- Hugh Downs, ABC News Commentator
