Mint Condition – Still in Publisher’s Shrinkwrap

Published by the Easton Press in 2004, this photographic history of Hiroshima and Nagasaki provides the first comprehensive photographic record of the bombings and their aftermath, presenting a history of the two cities before and after the bombs drop and also including photos of American and Japanese politicians and military men involved in the bombing.

From the publisher: “A vivid photographic record of the historic missions that marked the end of WWII - from the genesis of the atomic bomb and the Manhattan Project to the bombings and aftermath. With over 400 archival photographs - including many U.S. government and Japanese images never before seen by the public - this extraordinary edition is a permanent historical record of one of the most important events of the 20th century.”

Measuring 8.75” x 8.5”, the book is bound in full leather covered boards and features the usual Easton Press fineries of silk moiré endpapers, gold gilting and gilding, and a built in satin bookmark.

The condition of the book is MINT and is still in the Publisher’s shrinkwrap.
