How many died at Hiroshima?
[While writing a page on the Enola Gay kerfluffle, I searched the web for a definitive figure for those killed at Hiroshima by the “Little Boy” uranium bomb on August 6, 1945. I found figures ranging from 65,000 to 200,000, with the larger figures generally attached to the most recent writings. Astonishingly, there just doesn’t seem to be any scholarly study of this subject, but only proclamations by people with a stake in the matter.
