Sound and fury (0/0 people found this helpful)
A profound and moving book about a terrible event. If you know New Orleans and the area you'll be saddened at the things that happened on streets you know. If you don't know the area, Brinkley gives you a comprehensive guide to the history of the remarkable city and her people. Katrina was a natural force but the days which followed were defining events in American history, and this is the defining book of that event.
