The legendary photo series that couldn't be shown at the Smithsonian

In 1945, a young U.S. Marine Corps photographer visually documented the war-scorched landscapes of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and other cities in Japan. When he returned home, he placed the negatives of some 300 photos he had taken for personal use in a trunk and locked them away with his own devastating war memories. A long-selling, thought-provoking collection of images of the effects of war and nuclear weaponry.
