Summary
The atomic bomb which fell on Hiroshima killed 64,000 people within four months and the bomb on Nagasaki 39,000 people. In addition, 72,000 people were injured in Hiroshima and 25,000 in Nagasaki. At Hiroshima four square miles were totally devastated and nine square miles were very badly damaged. […] The morality and wisdom of the use of these bombs will be disputed throughout our lives and for such time as they remain the only ones to be used in warfare.
