It is easy to understand how even the most diligent author could be duped by a source, but we also understand that opens that book to very detailed scrutiny. The author of any work of non-fiction must stand behind its content. We must rely on our authors to answer questions that may arise as to the accuracy of their work and reliability of their sources. Unfortunately, Mr. Pellegrino was not able to answer the additional questions that have arisen about his book to our satisfaction. Mr. Pellegrino has a long history in the publishing world, and we were very proud and honored to publish his history of such an important historical event. But without the confidence that we can stand behind the work in its entirety, we cannot continue to sell this product to our customers. Read more From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. Using a combination of firsthand accounts of Japanese A-bomb survivors, American aviators, and classified documents of government officials, Pellegrino (The Jesus Family Tomb) reconstructs two horrifying days and their aftermath when the age of atomic warfare was introduced over Japan. He is fascinated with the strange alchemy of these cruel weapons (One ten-millionth of a second later, a sphere of gamma rays escap[ed] the core at light speed) as the bomb fell on Mrs. Aoyam tending her garden at Point Zero, literally before she could see it coming. Pellegrino is equally interested in the grotesque effects the blasts in Hiroshima and Nagasaki inflicted on the human body with its gamma rays, neutron spray and poisonous black rain. The stories of the few Japanese survivors includes a group of 30 civilians fleeing from Hiroshima to Nagasaki where they arrived to endure the second bomb, are heart-stopping. Pellegrino dissects the complex political and military strategies that went into the atomic detonations and the untold suffering heaped on countless Japanese civilians, weaving all of the book's many elements into a wise, informed protest against any further use of these terrible weapons. 16 pages of b&w photos, maps.

People without faces or history.This book turned my faceless ancestors into real people and this book gave me backmy history. Pellegrino's incredible presentation with his talent for descriptive writing, is a mustread so we who speak of wanting a war-free world for our children, will do more than wishing them inpoetry and song.Until we are able to personalize that part of our history that is destructive and inhumane, we will repeat history. This book doesthat for us, putting faces and real people into that part of history that cannot be forgotten and cannot be repeated.For writers out there, read this book, not only for the content, but for the structure of how the story is presented. Pellegrino's books have become my source on "How to Improve your Own Writing." ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everybody should read this book. *by G***N on July 24, 2017* A very good book. especially the ending with the summation. Great price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Last Train from Hiroshima *by S***K on June 28, 2016* A good read about the individuals who survived the nuclear bombings both at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A bit difficult to follow because of numerous characters with unfamiliar Japanese names. Not for the faint-of-heart. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/84045884-the-last-train-from-hiroshima-the-survivors-look-back](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/84045884-the-last-train-from-hiroshima-the-survivors-look-back) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
