Surviving Hiroshima By: Douglas Wellman, Anthony Drago [Audiobook]

Author: Douglas Wellman, Anthony Drago
Narrated by: Douglas Wellman

On August 6, 1945, 22-year-old Kaleria Pachikoff was doing pre-breakfast chores when a blinding flash lit the sky over Hiroshima, Japan. A moment later, everything went black as the house collapsed on her and her family. Their world, and everyone else’s, changed as the first atomic bomb was detonated over a city. 

From Russian nobility, the Palchikoffs barely escaped death at the hands of Bolshevik revolutionaries until her father, a White Russian officer, hijacked a ship to take them to safety in Hiroshima. Safety was short-lived. Her father, a talented musician, established a new life for the family, but the outbreak of World War II created a cloud of suspicion that led to his imprisonment and years of deprivation for his family.

After the bombing, trapped in the center of previously unimagined devastation, Kaleria summoned her strength to come to the aid of bomb victims, treating the never-before seen effects of radiation. Fluent in English, Kaleria was soon recruited to work with Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s occupation forces in a number of secretarial positions until the family found a new life in the United States. 

Heavily based on quotes from Kaleria’s memoirs written immediately after World War II and transcripts of United States Army Air Force interviews with her, her story is an emotional and sometime chilling story of courage and survival in the face of one of history’s greatest catastrophes.

Book Description
================
On August 6, 1945, 22-year-old Kaleria Pachikoff was doing 
pre-breakfast chores when a blinding flash lit the sky over 
Hiroshima, Japan. A moment later, everything went black as the 
house collapsed on her and her family. Their world, and everyone 
else's, changed as the first atomic bomb was detonated over a 
city.
From Russian nobility, the Palchikoff's barely escaped death at 
the hands of Bolshevik revolutionaries until her father, a White 
Russian officer, hijacked a ship to take them to safety in 
Hiroshima. Safety was short lived. Her father, a talented 
musician, established a new life for the family, but the outbreak
 of World War II created a cloud of suspicion that led to his 
imprisonment and years of deprivation for his family.
After the bombing, trapped in the center of previously unimagined
 devastation, Kaleria summoned her strength to come to the aid of
 bomb victims, treating the never-before seen effects of 
radiation.
Fluent in English, Kaleria was soon recruited to work with Gen. 
Douglas MacArthurs occupation forces in a number of secretarial 
positions until the family found a new life in the United States.
Heavily based on quotes from Kaleria's memoirs written 
immediately after World War II, and transcripts of United States 
Army Air Force interviews with her, her story is an emotional, 
and sometime chilling, story of courage and survival in the face 
of one of historys greatest catastrophes.
