El verano de 1945, William Shawn, director ejecutivo de The New Yorker, habló con el reportero John Hersey sobre la idea de publicar un relato que ilustrara la dimensión humana de los efectos de la bomba atómica en Hiroshima, pues le causaba estupor comprobar que, pese a la gran cantidad de información sobre la bomba que recibían, se estaba ignorando lo que realmente había ocurrido en Hiroshima.

To step into the world of the Red Dragon Society is to enter a realm where history is not written by the victors, but by those who survived in the darkness between the lines of official records. For centuries, this organization has existed as a shadow cast by the sun of the ruling dynasties, a parallel reality that has influenced the rise and fall of empires, the flow of global commerce, and the very structure of the modern underworld.
