Deadly Indifference - by Michael D Brown & Ted Schwarz (Hardcover)

About the Book

The first book by a former high government official about the realities of both natural and manmade disasters as they impact the public.

Book Synopsis

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.

Review Quotes

An excellent additional perspective on the disaster of Katrina, and a critical examination of bungled disaster management.-- "Midwest Book Review"

And if you're shaking your head that Michael "FEMA" Brown would actually have the temerity or boneheadedness to write a Katrina book called Deadly Indifference, you don't know Brownie.--BlogOfNewOrleans.com
