Description: Offered by Over The Blue Horizon is an increasingly difficult-to-find book: “OPERATION TOMODACHI: THE GREAT EAST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE” published in 2011 as a Stars and Stripes Special Publication. The GREAT EAST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE (東日本大震災, Higashi Nihon Daishinsai) which occurred on 11 March 2011, was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan, and the fourth most powerful earthquake in the world since modern record-keeping began in 1900. The earthquake triggered devastating tsunami waves that may have reached heights of over 100 feet in Japan’s Iwate Prefecture and which, in the Sendai area, traveled up to 10 miles inland. The official figures released in 2021 reported 19,747 deaths, 6,242 injured, and 2,556 people missing; tens of thousands remain dislocated to this day. This superb publication documents the U.S. military’s efforts to provide relief and recovery assistance in northeastern Japan after the devastating earthquake and tsunami, as photographed by Stars and Stripes photographers. This 73 page, 9 x 12 inch softcover is one of the best pictorials on this subject and is in BRAND NEW condition.
