We all read the news, saw the statistics, watched footage of a wave of debris-laden black water surge over the coastline of northeastern Japan. However, to go beyond that and to get a more intimate look into the physical and emotional destruction of villages and families, the following confusion, rage and anxiety that continues to this day, and the struggle to persevere after such loss, you honestly cannot do any better then this exhaustive effort by Richard Lloyd Parry to give voice to the disaster-stricken.
