CHAPTER 39
IMPERIAL PALACE TOKYO, JAPAN
August 6, 1945 • 7:50 P.M.
IT HAS BEEN ELEVEN HOURS and thirty-five minutes since Little Boy was dropped on Hiroshima. Many in the Japanese high command believe that the bomb was atomic, but the generals have withheld this news from their emperor all afternoon.
It is dusk, and Hirohito takes advantage of the warm August night to stroll the gardens of the Imperial Palace, completely unaware of what has happened in Hiroshima.
Suddenly, an aide from the Imperial Japanese Army approaches, which can only mean bad news. Such an intrusion on the emperor’s solitude is unheard of except in a time of tragedy. In somber tones, the aide informs Hirohito that Hiroshima has been “attacked with a special bomb from a U.S. bomber.” The aide goes on to state that the Navy Ministry, which has been investigating the attack, believes that “most parts of the city” have ceased to exist.
