A new excerpt from Richard B. Frank's 'Ghosts of Hiroshima' details the brutal reality faced by Allied prisoners of war in Nagasaki during World War II. The excerpt recounts the chilling order given to Japanese soldiers: to execute all POWs if the Allies landed. It focuses on the story of one Western POW and the Japanese guard who defied this order, risking his own life to save the prisoner's. This harrowing account offers a rare eyewitness perspective on the events leading up to and following the atomic bombing.
