Fallout The Hiroshima Cover-Up and the Reporter Who Revealed It to the World – Audiobook Online

Fallout is a compelling detective story that is an important piece of hidden history that shows how a hero saves – and can still save – the world.
New York Times bestselling author Lesley M.M. Blume reveals how an American reporter uncovered one of the most dangerous cover-ups of the 20th century – the true effect of the atomic bomb – that had the potential to save millions of lives.

When the United States massacred Hiroshima and Nagasaki with nuclear bombs, the Japanese surrendered unconditionally. But even before the surrender, the US government and military began a propaganda campaign and suppressed secret information to conceal the devastating nature of these experimental weapons. As the occupation forces closed the atomic cities to Allied reporters, preventing leaks of the terrible long-term effects of radiation could have killed thousands in the months following the explosion. For nearly a year, the cover-up worked – until New Yorker journalist John Hersey arrived in Hiroshima and managed to report the truth to the world.

When Hersey and the editors prepared their paper for publication, they kept the story secret. When the magazine published “Hiroshima” in August 1946, it became an instant global hit and inspired widespread horror about the new hellish threat America posed.
