History Book "Hiroshima" by John Hersey, Random House 1965 High School Textbook

This is a history book for high school students, "Hiroshima," written by Pulitzer Prize winning author John Hersey. It was first printed in The New Yorker and subsequently published by Random House of Canada in 1965 for use in Canadian Schools. This is a First Edition. It has black cloth covered boards with gold lettering and graphic on the cover and spine. Hiroshima is the story of six human beings who lived through the greatest single manmade disaster in history. John Hersey tells what these six -- a clerk, a widowed seamstress, a physician, a Methodist minister, a young surgeon, and a German Catholic priest -- were doing at 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, when Hiroshima was destroyed by the first atomic bomb ever dropped on a city. Then he follows the course of their lives hour by hour, day by day. This book is in very good condition. It has some wear and smudges on the covers and spine, and slightly bumped corners. There are school stamps and a past down inside the front cover. The inside pages are very clean with no marks that I could find. Please see the photos. It would make a wonderful gift for a teacher or to use in your homeschool curriculum.
