<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In 2005, Monster Hurricane Katrina produced a near-death experience for the Gulf Coast and the Big Easy, causing the levees protecting New Orleans to break and submerge vast swaths of the Crescent City. Now, 10 years later the city looks to the future. The Associated Press presents the stories behind the recovery of the Big Easy and the Gulf Coast through the lenses and eyes of its reporters.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Hurricane Katrina was the costliest natural disaster, and one of the five deadliest hurricanes in the history of the U.S. At least 1,833 people died in the hurricane and subsequent floods. Total property damage was estimated at $108 billion. Investigation of the responses from federal, state and local governments resulted in the resignation of FEMA director Michael D. Brown and criticism of President George W. Bush. The Associated Press was there with in depth reporting and spectacular photography.
