In Japan, "hibakusha" means "the people affected by the explosion" - specifically, the explosion of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. In this classic study, Lifton studies the psychological effects of the bomb on 90,000 survivors. He sees this analysis as providing a last chance to understand - and be motivated to avoid - nuclear war. This compassionate treatment is a significant contribution to the atomic age.
