Synopses & Reviews
At last, former Under Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Brown infamously praised by President George W. Bush for doing a heckuva job in the wake of Hurricane Katrina tells his side of the response to one of the greatest natural disasters to occur in the United States. Without making excuses for anyone, least of all the President of the United States or himself, Brown describes in detail what ultimately turned out to be the largest federal response to a natural disaster in U.S. history.
Synopsis
This is the first book by a former high government official about the realities of both natural and manmade disasters as they impact the public. Free from excuses, the book begins with Brown's experience during Hurricane Katrina, the largest federal response to a natural disaster in U.S. history. The realities of dealing with disasters are discussed in this timely book, one that warns us of calamities yet to come as Brown and Schwarz soberly detail what disasters are preventable and what, tragically, will not be.
