Críticas:

Named a "Best Book for Young Adults" of 2005 by the American Library Association This stunning work . . . is essential for all World War II collections. --Library Journal (starred review) Not only do O'Donnell's tragically beautiful photographs capture a hell on earth, they also embody his profound compassion and respect, making his haunting images precious not only as documentation but also as works of art. --Booklist (starred review) These photographs document with memorable visual images the impact of World War II on Japan's civilian populations. O'Donnell's status as a soldier with the American occupation forces gives the collection extra credibility. The passage of time has made these images more rather than less compelling. --George H. Roeder, Jr., School of the Art Institute of Chicago and author of The Censored War: American Visual Experience during World War II O'Donnell could never forget what he saw, and we should never forget what he here shows us. --The Japan Times
