After the bomb disaster that killed thousands, including Nagai's beloved wife, Nagai, then Dean of Radiology at Nagasaki University, threw himself into service to the countless victims of the bomb explosion, even though it meant deadly exposure to the radiation which eventually would cause his own death. While dying, he also wrote powerful books that became best-sellers in Japan. These included The Bells of Nagasaki, which resonated deeply with the Japanese people in their great suffering as it explores the Christian message of love and forgivness. Nagai became a highly revered man and is considered a saint by many Japanese people.
Book is Softcover. 267 pp. Comes with a glossy insert of photographs and various illustrations, and a helpful glossary of Japanese terms.
