First reporter in Nagasaki - his report finally published

An article from George Weller in Nagasaki has only now been published in the Mainichi Daily News: "American George Weller was the first foreign reporter to enter Nagasaki following the U.S. atomic attack on the city on Aug. 9, 1945. Weller wrote a series of stories about what he saw in the city, but censors at the Occupation's General Headquarters refused to allow the material to be printed".
A powerful but harrowing account of the first atom bombs.
