The New Yorker: Hiroshima
This article is a detailed and harrowing account of an atomic bomb being detonated in Hiroshima. The article is from The New Yorker and was published ~80 years ago, just 1 year after the events.
I read it first about a decade ago and if you havent read it, its worth sitting with for a while!
The rest of this recommendation is only available to paid members.

"Hiroshima" by John Hersey
Lanh
“I also recommend Bombshell on PBS for a retrospective look at how the US government covered up the long term impacts of bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There are a few segments that talk about the censorship of Hershey’s article, as well as the coverage by Japanese and Japanese American journalists.”

“Originally published as a single issue of the New Yorker in 1946, this short book tells the story of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima from the perspective of six survivors. A must-read.”
