5.0 out of 5 stars
This is the inside look at how leaders and victims react to stress!, November 3, 2005
This review is from: Who Killed New Orleans?: Mother Nature vs. Human Nature (Paperback)
This book deals with Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the psychological reactions of those who failed to protect New Orleans as well as victims of the Gulf Coast catastrophe. Unlike 9/11 when we were all in the same boat, Katrina showed us that poor blacks were left in a different boat than others in New Orleans. Who Killed New Orleans dispells myths about panic, shows the different reactions of men and women in such events, examines the roles of police and rescue workers, and describes the causes of criminal behavior which occurred in the Katrina aftermath. Other books may deal with the hurricanes using the blame game but this book helps us learn about our best side which often emerges in crises.
