Description

Within the span of five violent hours on August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina destroyed major Gulf Coast cities and flattened 150 miles of coastline. But it surely used to be only the first stage of a shocking triple tragedy. At the heels of one of the crucial three strongest hurricanes ever to make landfall in the US came the storm-surge flooding, which submerged a half-million homes—followed by the human tragedy of government mismanagement, which proved as cruel as the natural disaster itself.

In The Great Deluge, bestselling writer Douglas Brinkley finds the actual heroes of this unparalleled catastrophe, and lets the survivors tell their very own stories, masterly letting them record the nightmare that used to be Katrina.
