Of course this publication is mostly financial related, but because of the historical significance of this particular event, the front page has some first hand reporting with a small one column heading: "Atomic's Bomb Force 'Diabolical,' Japs Say; Full Extent of Damage Not Known" with more.

Complete with 10 pages, some binding holes along the spine, nice condition.
AI notes: In August of 1945, during the final stages of World War II, the United States dropped an atomic bomb named "Little Boy" on Hiroshima, Japan, marking the first use of nuclear weapons in warfare. The bomb devastated the city, killing an estimated 70,000–80,000 people instantly, with total deaths rising significantly due to radiation and injuries. The attack aimed to force Japan’s surrender and was followed by a second bombing on Nagasaki three days later. These events contributed to Japan’s surrender on August 15, effectively ending World War II and ushering in the nuclear age.
