Japan 1945: A U.S. Marine's Photographs from Ground Zero

Seventy-four black and white photographs provide the first significant collection of photographs by an American in the immediate aftermath of the holocaust visited on Japan by American A-bombs and firebombs. Former U.S. Marine photograph Joe O'Donnell documents the destruction of many cities and includes photographs of the victims that were censored at the time by U.S. occupation forces. But he also captures the human face of a people beginning to look beyond the devastation.
