A personal account of one of the most horrifying days in recorded Japanese history; March 11, 2011. Told from the perspective of Bradley Lobue - an American living in northern Japan - this story is his personal struggle and attempts to survive the initial earthquake, numerous aftershocks and the threat of radiation in the weeks following that fateful day. Using actual emails to family and friends, as well as personal experiences over a ten month period, Bradley has written a book that delves deep into the penetrating effects of March 11th; particularly the subsequent fear and panic initiated by the meltdown of a nuclear facility situated a mere thirty-six miles from his home and business. It is not just a chronicle of actual events, however. It also offers insight and analysis into the emotional and psychological effects of the disaster and ensuing nuclear crisis. A portion of the proceeds from this book will be donated to relief and reconstruction efforts in the stricken prefecture of Fukushima, located in southern Tohoku, Japan, where Bradley resides.
