Specificatii
In September 1945 Joe O'Donnell was a twenty-three-year-old Marine
Corps photographer wading ashore in Japan, then under American
occupation. His orders were to document the aftermath of U.S.
bombing raids in Japanese cities, including not only Hiroshima and
Nagasaki, but also cities such as Sasebo, one of the more than
sixty Japanese cities firebombed before the atomic blasts. The
people I met, he now recalls, the suffering I witnessed, and the
scenes of incredible devastation taken by my camera caused me to
question every belief I had previously held about my so-called
enemies.In addition to the official photographs he turned over to
his superiors, O'Donnell recorded some three hundred images for
himself, but following his discharge from the Marines he could not
bear to look at them. He put the negatives in a trunk that remained
unopened until 1989, when he finally felt compelled to confront
once more what he had he had seen through his lens during his seven
months in postwar Japan.Now, for this remarkable book, seventy-four
of these photographs have been assembled. The images of
destruction--a panorama of Ground Zero at Nagasaki, a lone building
still standing near the Aioi Bridge at Hiroshima, a
fourteen-year-old burn victim lying in a coma--are, of course,
wrenching beyond words. But the book includes hopeful images as
well, and these are equally affecting--children playing on a road,
young girls carrying their infant siblings on their backs as they
go about everyday routines, geishas performing a traditional dance,
Marine boots mingled with Japanese sandals outside a church
entrance.Exhibited in Europe and Japan during the 1990s,
O'Donnell's photographs were first published in book form in a 1995
Japanese edition. This edition, the first to appear in the United
States, includes an additional twenty photographs and will bring
O'Donnell's eloquent testament to the horrors of war to an even
wider audience.
