Hiroshima, by John Hersey, deals with the human impact of the atomic bomb used on Hiroshima in 1945. Chapter 1 begins on the morning of the dropping of the atomic bomb (August 6 1945), resulting in the deaths of over one-hundred-thousand people. Throughout the chapter, the reader is introduced to 6 individuals: Reverend Mr. Kiyoshi Tanimoto (an intelligent pastor at Hiroshima Methodist Church, fluent in English, situated over 3000 yards from point of explosion); Mrs. Hatsuyo Nakamura (a widow raising her children, living only 1350 yards from point of explosion); Father Wilhelm Kleinsorge (a German priest struggling with life in Japan, situated only 1400 yards from point of explosion); Dr. Masakazu Fujii(cheerful owner of a private hospital known for his use of modern technology, situated 1,550 yards from the point of explosion); Miss Toshiko Sasaki (a 20-year-old fiancé of a soldier, working as a clerk only 1600 yards from the point of explosion); Dr. Terufumi Sasaki (shares the same surname as Toshiko but unrelated, a 25 year old surgeon and risked practicing medicine in poor areas without permission due to frustrations with the Japanese health service, situated 1,650 yards from point of explosion).
The lives of the characters become intertwined as the novel progresses. The initial chapter entitled, “A Noiseless Flash,” specifically deals with the accounts of each individual and their experience of the explosion of the bomb. We first hear of Miss Toshiko, who was blinded by a flashing light, knocking her unconscious and causing a bookshelf to fall onto her leg—the building collapsed around her. Mrs. Nakamura also saw the white light, catapulting her from the room she was in and burying her children in piles of rubble, while Dr. Masakuza Fujii fell into the nearby river. Dr. Sasaki was lucky, remaining unscathed from the explosion, while every other doctor was harmed and the hospital had collapsed around him. Father Wilhelm only experienced small cuts, while Rev. Tanimoto pushed himself against the wall feeling his house push back into his body in the form of debris and splinters. While some of the individuals were more severely harmed than others, all were affected in some way by the devastating, “noiseless flash."
Chapter 2, "The Fire," continues directly after the explosion. It deals with the rapid spread of fires around Hiroshima and the plight of the 6 individuals as they attempt to find safety and help fellow victims. For example, Rev. Tanimoto had to temporarily halt the search for family in order to look after the many lost, confused and injured people in his midst. Mrs Nakamura had to dig out her children from the rubble and find them shelter in the Jesuit Missionary house; however, both she and her children experience unbearable sickness. Miss Sasaki is carried away, unconscious, by two injured people, while Dr. Fujii remains caught in the wreckage, unable to move. The relatively unscathed Dr. Sasaki frantically tries to help an overflowing number of patients. After attempting to help those in his immediate vicinity, Father Kleinsorge sets off for Asano Park, while Mr Tanimoto briefly reunites with his wife and child before splitting up so he can tend to the church. The individuals are divided into a dichotomy of those who are in utter agony, and those who feel unbearably guilty for not being as injured as those around them; Hiroshima is engulfed in misery.
