In 2005, Hurricane Katrina, one of the deadliest tropical cyclones in U.S. history, left devastation from Florida to Texas. Editor Ebonie Ledbetter has compiled several essays and primary sources that provide readers with a deep understanding of this event. This book summarizes the events that occurred before, during, and after the storm that devastated the Gulf Coast. Readers will examine how communities such as New Orleans were unprepared, and the failure of government agencies such as F.E.M.A. to respond in an effective manner. New information will be cemented in the reader's mind as they experience compelling first-hand accounts as well. This book features an annotated table of contents, a world map, a chronology, glossary of key terms, bibliography, and subject index.
