Assigned in 1949 as Physician in Charge of the United States Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission in Nagasaki, Yamazaki had served as a combat surgeon at the Battle of the Bulge where he had been captured and held as a prisoner of war by the Germans. In Japan he was confronted with violence of another dimension - the devastating impact of a nuclear blast and the particularly insidious effects of radiation on children. Yamazaki's story is also one of striking juxtapositions, an account of a Japanese-American's encounter with racism, the story of a man who fought for his country while his parents were interned in a concentration camp in Arkansas. 410 0$aAsia-Pacific. 606 $aPediatricians$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aAtomic bomb victims$xMedical care$zJapan$zHiroshima-shi 606 $aAtomic bomb victims$xMedical care$zJapan$zNagasaki-shi 606 $aAtomic bomb victims$xMedical care$zMarshall Islands 615 0$aPediatricians 615 0$aAtomic bomb victims$xMedical care 615 0$aAtomic bomb victims$xMedical care 615 0$aAtomic bomb victims$xMedical care 676 $a618.92/9897/0092 B 676 $a618.9298970092 700 $aYamazaki$b James N$01629147 701 $aFleming$b Louis B$01629148 801 0$bNDD 801 1$bNDD 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817248503321 996 $aChildren of the atomic bomb$93966687 997 $aUNINA
