LIFE Images – Fallout: After a nuclear attack
The specter of nuclear conflict seemed to have lessened for a while when the enmity between East and West
receded. Now we are not haunted by MAD – Mutual assured destruction that prevailed with the immense arsenals of the super powers, rather by the threat of terrorist action.
With Hiroshima and Nagasaki fading into the depths of history, it is important to note that these two cities were not just Military targets attacked to bring a nation to its knees and end a vicious conflict, but civilian targets with families and children.
The iconic Magazine Life has produced an excellent set of 18 images that show clearly, vividly, pionently the dangers and risks of Nuclear attack as it presents Fallout: After a nuclear attack.
Let us hope that no other city raises a monument at ground zero of a nuclear attack, that no other families suffer the pain and torment of radiation burns, cancers and lingering death.
