ABOUT THIS SERIES
Why read Barefoot Gen?
The danger posed by nuclear weapons is as great as ever, yet few people survive who witnessed their horror. Nakazawa's manga illustrates the true impact of nuclear weapons when used against a civilian population. It is vital reading for people of all ages, and especially for today's youth. By keeping this tragedy in our collective consciousness, we can strive to never repeat it and guide humanity towards a course of peace. Barefoot Gen Volume One —"A Cartoon Story of Hiroshima" —details the events leading up to and immediately following the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
