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

5.0

Masterful and meticulous in his re-telling of this catastrophic event. The incompetence is mind-numbing, but the human stories never cease to give you chills. The only thing I'd like to see is more information (perhaps an added epilogue or afterword?) on the repercussions in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast to this day.

Overall, though, the detail in this tome is stunning. Truly a phenomenal text.
