Publisher's Summary:
Hiroshima not only marked the start of the nuclear age but also created an ethical challenge beyond the reaches of the theodicy of any culture. On the 48th anniversary of the atomic bombing, Professor James Foard speaks of the ritual and symbolic responses that emerged from the catastrophe. He has surveyed a group of surviving alumni and family members of the 669 Japanese schoolgirls who perished in the bombing. By relating their story, and including reference to the Holocaust, he attempts to illuminate the human situation in the post-nuclear age.
