A magnitude-9 earthquake triggers a rampaging tsunami that thrashes a nuclear power plant. Radiation streams skywards. Casualties mount. A country goes into lockdown. This is Japan, March 2011. Disaster images traversed the global networks. A shocked world looked on. The horror and uncertainty of the moment is captured in 'Tides of March' as seen through the eyes of a teacher of English experiencing the historical tragedy. The book takes the reader on a journey through a city of swaying skyscrapers, the desolate tsunami torn districts, idyllic lands carpeted with radiation, and the story of an incredible dying survivor. 'Tides of March' questions the official release of disaster information. It questions the adequacy of the radioactive exclusion zone. It questions the containment of contaminated waste. It questions the populace's desire to know the truth. Using his own photographs, the author's powerful first-hand account brings a new, previously unseen focus to the after-effects of one of the worst disasters ever to hit Japan.
