Publication Date - April 23, 2019
🌟🌟🌟



I grabbed this book off of NetGalley because I always enjoy books about the writing process and the backstories of famous authors.  I wish I had of read his most famous work, Hiroshima, before picking this up because it might have spurred more interest in the material.  This is well-written and definitely interesting at times.  I actually wish there would have been more information about his thoughts and feelings as he saw the destruction in Japan and how that translated to his book.  I am glad that I picked this up, though, it gave good insight into journalism and publishing during that time period.  I received this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
