From the rear cover, "Hurricane Katrina was a natural disaster of staggering proportions. . . . But the deluge also laid bare an unnatural disaster - a social catastrophe caused by the government's callous indifference to the needs of the region's most vulnerable residents. This pattern of near-criminal government neglect did not begin with Katrina, but the hurricane revealed its extraordinary depth and horrifying consequences, exposing how race and class can spell life or death in contemporary America.".
