The original August 31, 1946 issue of The New Yorker of Hersey's classic work and is the work's first appearance. The entire issue of the magazine is dedicated to Hersey's piece, and this example is a presentation copy, inscribed on the final page to poet and publisher Kirby Congdon, "For Kirby Congdon - John Hersey, February 24, 1985." Hersey's account of the aftermath of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, was judged the finest piece of American journalism of the 20th century by a 36-member panel associated with New York University's journalism department. In very good condition. Rare and desirable signed.
