When the atomic bomb "Fat Man" exploded over Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, Dr. Takashi Nagai was working at a university hospital near the epicenter. After barely escaping from the half-destroyed building and despite serious injuries, he and other doctors began to help survivors. His account of the first terrible days after the atomic bombing became the basis of the book "The Bell of Nagasaki". Dr. Nagai died of leukemia two years after publication. His essay was a unique eyewitness account of the catastrophe, a scientist's reflection on the nature of the atomic bomb, and a humanist's plea that such a thing should never happen again.
