Hiroshima Joe - by Martin Booth (Paperback)

Hiroshima Joe is a powerful novel about the experience of war that will leave you haunted by its graphic descriptions and inspired by its clear-eyed heroism.

Captured by Hirohito's soldiers at the fall of Hong Kong and transferred to a Japanese slave camp outside Hiroshima, Captain Joe Sandingham was present when the bomb was dropped.

Now a shell of a man living in a cheap Hong Kong hotel, he is a testament to the human spirit's ability to survive even the most unimaginable horrors.

With vivid observations and a carefully controlled study of man's beastliness to man, this novel will move you to tears and leave you questioning the meaning of war.

Don't miss out on this moving drama that fashioned a moral meaning from the terrible travail of a man who survived, and even transcended it.
