    The Pure Land - Hardback - Alan Spence
    'The Pure Land' relives in fiction the arc of Thomas Glover's true-life rise and fall, and forges a hundred-year saga that culminates in the annihilation of Nagasaki in 1945. It spans the feudal and the atomic ages, east and west, global history and private passion.
