From the publication:
Foreword
Japan is the first and only nation in the world to suffer the terrible devastation
of atomic bombing. In 1945, casualties at Hiroshima and Nagasaki totaled more
than 210,000, and even today there are people still plagued by the aftereffects of
radioactive contamination. That is all the more reason why Japan should take the
initiative in abolishing nuclear weapons and stopping the so-called nonmilitary
development of nuclear power plants. At long last in 1995 the International
Court of Justice in The Hague delivered a verdict that the use of nuclear weapons
is a heinous crime against humankind. It was decidedly good news and greatly
encouraged us to continue our efforts to achieve the goal of building a nuclear-
free world.
This book is a translation of Aogiri no shita de: Hiroshima no kataribe, Numata
Suzuko monogatari ("Under the Aogiri Trees: The Story of Suzuko Numata,
Witness to Hiroshima"). The author, Chikahiro Hiroiwa, is a reporter for the
Mainichi Newspapers, and served as editor-in-chief of "A-bomb," a series of
articles started in July, 1988. As a reporter eager to embark on a fresh project,
he visited Hiroshima to collect materials.
