Why the Levees Broke in Hurricane Katrina
Paperback
Publication Date: 10/08/2020
Muddied Waters In 2005, the entire world watched as New Orleans was nearly wiped off the map. The levees ruptured and most of the city flooded. But while newscasters attributed the flood to a natural disaster and the low elevation of the city, citizen investigator Sandy Rosenthal set out to expose the true culprit and compel the media and government to tell the truth. This is the true story. When the protective steel flood-walls broke, the US Army Corps of Engineers-with cooperation from many media outlets-turned the blame on anyone and anything but themselves. In the chaotic aftermath, Rosenthal founded Levees.org to uncover the truth and disseminate it to anyone who would listen. Follow this New Orleans hero as she exposes the Army Corps's egregious design errors and eventually changes the narrative surrounding the New Orleans flood. This engaging and revealing tale proves again and again that one person truly can make a difference. Book jacket.
