REVEAL STORY BANNED BY U.S.
Hiroshima has scheduled early publication of a book Our Experience- with the A=-Bomb which will tell for the first. time what Fostty happened when the nuclear device was exploded over the crowded city on President Truman's orders.
The book is a collection of more than 600 personal records written in 1947 by those who were in the city at the time it was levelled to the ground,
The book was to have been issued on August 6, 1950, by the city in commemoration of the first use of a nuclear: weapon on human beings but the U.S. occupation authorities banned it.
A book written by Kiyoshi Yoshikawa, My Experience and Fight Against the A-Bomb Disease, suffered a similar fate in 1947. I was. first drastically edited. The U.S. occupation authorities then devoted more thought to the problem of the book's probable repercussions and decided to ban it.
