What is Hiroshima Joe: A Novel about?
<p><b>One of the most powerful novels about the experience of war, first published in 1985</b></p><p>Captured by Hirohitoâs soldiers at the fall of Hong Kong and transferred to a Japanese slave camp outside Hiroshima, Captain Joe Sandingham was present when the bomb was dropped. Now a shell of a man, he lives in a cheap Hong Kong hotel, scrounging for food and the occasional bar girl. The locals call him 'Hiroshima Joe' with a mixture of pity and contempt. But Joe-haunted by the sounds and voices of his past, debilitated by illness, and shattered by his wartime ordeal-is a man whose compassion and will to survive define a clear-eyed and unexpected heroism.</p> <p>Imprisioned by the Japanese and witness to the bombing of Hiroshima, Capt. Joseph Sandingham is the eptiome of the battle-scarred hero.</p>
