1720. [Zinn, Howard] Hershey, John.
Hiroshima [Howard Zinn’s personal copy with his name signed in full to the endpaper, markings in the text and some comments in Zinn’s hand inside the rear cover].
New York, Bantam Books, 1965. 10.6 cm x 17.7 cm. 117 pages. Original Softcover. Very Poor condition. Tears to last few pages. Pages heavily tanned. Contains blue ink markings by influential Anti-War Historian Howard Zinn. This book would have been extremely personal to him and it is telling that he marked the part of the text on page 61 in which a Hospital in Hiroshima was invaded by patients who scolded doctors, sleeping from exhaustion, into helping them. Zinn, an army veteran of World War II, would have known the cost of war and especially would have been able to imagine the cost of nuclear war.
