On August 10, just days after the 76th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, and just days before the 75th anniversary of the publishing of Hiroshima in the pages of The New Yorker Magazine, I sat down with Lesley Blume to discuss her book, John Hersey and the legacy of Hiroshima. Blume - Award-Winning Journalist, Historian, and New York Times Best-Selling Author. "When I came across Hersey's story, " she states, "it just seemed to me the purest example of journalistic integrity and journalistic effectiveness that one could possibly find." Her book, Fallout: The Hiroshima Cover-up and the Reporter Who Revealed it to the World is a fascinating behind-the-scenes account about how John Hersey wrote Hiroshima. Released on the 75th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing, Fallout is an engrossing detective story, as well as an important piece of hidden history that shows how one heroic scoop saved - and can still save - the world. Blume has a deep admiration for John Hersey. ![]()
