I just finished reading Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard's book, Killing the Rising Sun. This book is about World War II, specifically the last part of the war leading up to and following the dropping of nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. Here are some of quotes from this great book:

1. "In the blast that follows, a fireball spreads out over the target zone. It travels at one hundred times the speed of sound, rendering it silent. One-millionth of a second later, the people of Hiroshima began to incinerate."
2. "But Enola Gay is safe. All twelve men on board are alive. In six hours they will celebrate with whiskey and lemonade and spend the night far from the hell they have just created."
3. "The next day the chilling results of what the young officer saw from the air are reported on Japanese radio: 'Practically all living things, human and animal, were literally seared to death."
4. "[President] Truman's face lights up. 'This is the greatest thing in history...'"
5. "'Thank God for the atomic bomb' is a common refrain among American soldiers and sailors, who have been dreading the blood-bath sure to come if American troops invade the beaches of Japan. To many of them, the bombing of civilians is not an issue - it's payback for the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor."
6. "Oppenheimer soon leaves the stage, but not before bringing the house down with his final comment: 'My only regret is that we didn't develop the bomb in time to use it against the Germans.'"

Sometimes humor is appropriate when something is just too horrible for us to imagine - like dropping nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki!

Just a note: Both my father and my father-in-law were fighting in World War 2 when the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
