About this book

In this troubling expose of what went wrong with America's emergency response system after Hurricane Katrina, Christopher Cooper and Robert Block draw on exclusive interviews with federal, state, and local officials to reveal the inexcusable mismanagement and how America is ill-equipped to handle large-scale emergencies, be they floods or fires, natural events or terrorist attacks.
