Hurricane Katrina, the Bush White House, and beyond
Written by former Under Secretary of Homeland Security, Michael Brown, this book tells his side of the response to Hurricane Katrina, one of the greatest natural disasters to occur in the United States. Without making excuses for himself, Brown describes in detail the federal response to the disaster. What Brown and others in government did not anticipate, was the fact that New Orleans' levees could be breached, waffling leadership, interfering media, and self-serving politicians seeking to score points with the government.
