Nagasaki Journey: The Photographs of Yosuke Yamahata August 10, 1945

On August 10, 1945, one day after Nagasaki was decimated by the atomic bomb, Yosuke Yamahata made the photographs which have been in this book. It is one of the most powerful and stultifying photo-documentaries ever made--the sheer totality of the destruction is almost impossible to believe. Accompanied by informative historical texts and an interview with the photographer, the book is a truly important piece of work.
