And how it’s easy to get in our own way ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Katrina *by R***L on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on March 30, 2008* Seems to do a real good job. As an anything like this, it takes a lot of people a lot of time to mess up something this bad. Will be better analyzed by "experts" several years from now, especially after some of the repairs/remediation have been tested with say a "minor" hurricane. I'm not an expert or even close, but everybody has known people that went down there to help that couldn't do anything because of whatever (basically disorganization/dysfuntion) and just came home (some had some sucess particularly other La & Miss). Have had the opportunity to work with Corps Of Engineer on other things and like any large governmental agency some things work real well but a lot doesn't, most of which seems to be their own bureaucacy. Of course they are not completely at fault, but they, the city & the state are probably all guilty. Particularly liked the explanation/idea that the Feds and/or the Military wanted to take control. Pretty sure they are still trying to do this, for a lot of different reasons, but one is to just get more power/money (and for some weak/poor areas, they may be right). One of the bigger issues is what should we the people and government really do/spend on these areas to include much of Florida, in regards to saving/protecting something that is almost impossible to protect, is very very expensive to protect, and/or actually wrong to protect (e.g. Everglades, Mississippi River over engineering). Some of these things are owned by very rich people/corporations. If I owned property built in a Hurricane prone area, I would like the government to save me/my money too. I'll never forget walking down the road in Vietnam and seeing an Esso and station sign, and I thought to myself, what am I really here for. Of course, since then I've realized it isn't that simple, but some of it is. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Oddly compelling *by C***R on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on October 27, 2007* I say this because the book was very difficult to put down, certainly surprising because it is reporting on a recent event with known results. Certainly, the book is not a dry recitation of events.I will say this right off - some of my opinions about who was at fault from the Federal response changed as a result of reading the book. I am less inclined to blame the Bush White house (and I am no fan of Bush Administration). However, it is also plainly obvious that the response failed on Federal, State and local levels - primarily because of bureaucracy. This is not to say that some things went well - New Orleans was 80% evacuated for example when the storm hit.The authors have also listed many of their references both in the book and on their website. Two of the big ones are readily accessible on the Internet - the Bipartisan report and the White house report. Anyone may review those documents who care to.
