How New
Orleans Drowned
As Hurricane Katrina
bore down and weather experts sounded the alarm,
every hour counted. Yet Mayor Ray Nagin waited
to order a mandatory evacuation, FEMA director
Michael Brown held off on readying adequate relief,
and Governor Kathleen Blanco and President Bush
exchanged form letters instead of urgent phone
calls. An excerpt from the new book The
Great Deluge lays
out the farce behind the tragedy.
