Yokohama Burning: The Deadly 1923 Earthquake and Fire That Helped Forge the Path to World War IIThe story of the worst natural disaster of the twentieth century: the earthquakes, fires, and tsunamis of September 1923 that destroyed Yokohama and most of Tokyo and killed 140,000 people during two days of horror.

The story of the worst natural disaster of the twentieth century: the earthquakes, fires, and tsunamis of September 1923 that destroyed Yokohama and most of Tokyo and killed 140,000 people during two days of horror. Piecing together a minute-by-minute account, journalist Hammer re-creates harrowing scenes of death, escape, and rescue. He also places the tumultuous events in the context of history and demonstrates how they set Japan on a path to even greater tragedy: the massive, American-led relief effort seemed to promise a bright new era in U.S.-Japanese relations, but, Hammer asserts, the calamity led in fact to a hardening of racist attitudes in both Japan and the United States, and drove Japan into the hands of radical militarists with imperial ambitions.--From publisher description.

Love it
Color: White, Color: White
This is so beautiful! It's very good quality. I got this for my daughter to keep her jewelry in and it's perfect. It has three floors, the top opens for a ring compartment, and the sides open for necklaces. All the compartments have pink velvet on the inside. I really like the size of this, not too big but not too small. It fits perfectly on an over the toilet shelf or the bathroom counter. A great but with a decent price.

Beautiful Jewelry Storage
Color: White
A lovely jewelry box! Definitely worth the price. I love the little mirror inside, because it is useful when putting on my earrings. I do wish that one of the drawers was divided into smaller sections for bracelet storage, but overall the storage is amazing. Love the hooks for necklaces and the ring storage. It’s very pretty with the pink lining. Gorgeous for any space, and would make a lovely gift
