Ghosts of Hiroshima is a haunting, survivor-focused audiobook by Charles Pellegrino, released to mark the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings. Narrated with immersive detail, it reconstructs the human and scientific impact of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki blasts through over 200 interviews with hibakusha (survivors) and families, forensic archaeology, and accounts from figures like Tsutomu Yamaguchi (who endured both bombings) and Manhattan Project engineer Jacob Beser. Pellegrino explores the immediate horrors, long-term radioactive effects on children and communities, and the moral legacy of nuclear warfare, blending personal testimonies with vivid forensic insights.
