Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent book Comment: We were recently in New Orleans to help in the restoration of the area. During our "free" time we frequented a wonderful bookstore in the city. The owner of the store highly recommended this book. She said it was the most comprehensive of all the books written on Katrina. We thoroughly agree! Customer Rating: Summary: Masterpiece of Photojournalism Comment: While many want to forget Katrina and its devastation, the nation should remember her in true factual details. This book is by far the most comprehensive and balanced presentation of the physics, geography, topography, socioeconomics, and psychology of the tragedy. I was most impressed with the graphics and photos documenting the timing and effects of the levee failures. Customer Rating: Summary: great time document Comment: This is the most excellent book about Katrina and New Orleans,picture-wise and text-wise. No better way to do it Customer Rating: Summary: Katrina: The Ruin and Recovery of New Orleans Comment: This a great look into what happened before, during, and after Hurricane Katrina. Awesome photos! Customer Rating: Summary: Gross omissions Comment: In their zeal to flay the federal government's response to Katrina, the authors and editors of this book omit any mention of the U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Navy response to Katrina. NOT ONE MENTION. NOT ONE PHOTO. Over 30,000 people assisted, but because these were federal agencies, not a word. A generation from now, young people will look at this book and think there was no response except local, and that's WRONG. Great photos, but lousy journalism. More Reviews
