The Great Deluge: Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast by Douglas Brinkley

5.0

The real disaster of Hurricane Katrina was the effect of disinterest and greed. It is too kind to blame what happened on imcompetence. Incompetence implies that someone tried, but bumbled the job. The decision to do nothing is an active -- not a passive -- choice.
