Ghosts of the Tsunami

Richard Lloyd Parry investigates the deaths of seventy-four children at Okawa Elementary School during Japan's catastrophic 2011 tsunami, and the bereaved parents' years-long fight to establish accountability. The book examines institutional failure, collective grief and the powerful cultural pressures that shaped and prolonged a preventable, inadequately acknowledged tragedy.
