Read the terrific article "Autumn of the Atom" by Jill Lepore in the New Yorker January 30, 2017 issue

In August, 1945 the United States dropped atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The two bombings killed an estimated 129,000 people and resulted in the immediate surrender of Japan. They remain the only use of nuclear weapons in history. In the following months the Army Corps of Engineers surveyed the devastation resulting from the blasts - the deaths, the injuries, the destruction and the suffering of survivors - and prepared a detailed report, which was released on June 29, 1946. These words from the Forward describe the report: “This report describes the effects of the atomic bombs which were dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945, respectively. It summarizes all the authentic information that is available on damage to structures, injuries to personnel, morale effect, etc., which can be released at this time without prejudicing the security of the United States.”
