A Song For Nagasaki (1990) By Paul Glynn
 
This is a marvelous biography of Takashi Nagai, a Japanese convert to Christianity, physician, peace activist, and victim of terminal radiation disease as well as a man of letters who wrote 20 books after he became bedridden. The story reveals the horrors of atomic devastation, the ironies of the bomb's dropping on one of the few Christian communities in Japan, Nagai's successful struggle to find meaning in suffering, and the triumph of life in almost hopeless situations. Nagai never rejects science, continues to see atomic discovery as potentially good (providing peaceful energy for oil-poor Japan), and retains deep love for the Emperor and for his non-Christian ancestors. This book can inspire both Christians and non-Christians to work for peace.
