At last, former Under Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Brownâ?"infamously praised by President George W. Bush for doing a "heckuva job" in the wake of Hurricane Katrinaâ?"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.

Industry Reviews

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