Headline: A bomba atômica matou 100 mil pessoas na cidade japonesa de Hiroshima, em agosto de 1945. Naquele dia, depois de um clarão silencioso, uma torre de poeira e fragmentos de fissão se ergueu no céu de Hiroshima, deixando cair gotas imensas – do tamanho de bolas de gude – da pavorosa mistura.
Um ano depois, a reportagem de John Hersey reconstituía o dia da explosão a partir do depoimento de seis sobreviventes. O texto tomava a edição inteira da revista The New Yorker, uma das mais importantes publicações semanais dos Estados Unidos. O trabalho do repórter alcançou uma repercussão extraordinária.
