Description

“[A] tightly crafted, very readable book . . . the most efficient in-depth up to date analysis we’re going to get.”
―Stephen Flynn, The Washington Post

When Hurricane Katrina roared ashore on August 29, 2005, federal and state officials were not prepared for the devastation it would bring. In this searing indictment of what went unsuitable, Christopher Cooper and Robert Block take readers inside FEMA and the Department of Native land Security to reveal the inexcusable mismanagement right through the crisis―the bad decisions that were made, the facts that were ignored, and the individuals who saw that the system used to be broken but did nothing to fix it.

In this award-winning and critically acclaimed book, Cooper and Block reconstruct the a very powerful days before and after the storm hit, laying bare the government’s inability to reply to the most elemental needs. They also demonstrate how the Bush administration’s obsessive focal point on terrorist threats fatally undermined the government’s ability to reply to natural disasters. The incompetent response to Hurricane Katrina is a wake-up call to all Americans, wherever they live, about how distressingly vulnerable we remain.
