Unacceptable…The Federal Response to Hurricane Katrina ~ Walter M. Brasch ~ BookSurge ~ Current Affairs



I was quite hesitant at first about reviewing this book for many reasons. One, I am NOT a George Bush fan and I knew that he would be brought up a lot in this book. Two, I was furious about how the before and aftermath of Hurricane Katrina was handled. Hell, I can’t even watch Fahrenheit 9/11 for similar reasons! Oh, and three...my name IS Katrina. Anyway, I began to read the book and was made aware of so much more that we as television viewers were not told. This infuriated me further. I was not unaware that Petsmart had sent dog crates that were not allowed to be delivered to New Orleans, nor was I aware that Wal-Mart as well as another bottling company sent truckloads of water down to New Orleans and they weren’t allowed in either. I definitely was further enlightened about the goings on, or there lack of that FEMA and President Bush did and did not do. I think anyone that has any questions or wants further information, factual information should read this book. I know that I was enlightened, enraged, saddened, disappointed in our government and educated. We the people MUST know what is going on and this book will tell you all you need to know.
