documented the effects of the nuclear bombing in 1945 of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in images that conveyed the widespread devastation. O'Donnell's official photographs were taken for the U.S. Marines, but he also amassed a private collection that was shown in Japan in 1995 and appeared in Japan 1945: A U.S. Marine's Photos from Ground Zero (2005). In later years O'Donnell, who was haunted by the memories of his wartime observations and the photos that depicted them, became an activist opposed to the use of nuclear weapons.
