The ultimate inside story of the Katrina tragedy—from the
cofounder of the LSU Hurricane Center After warning for years about the looming threat of
catastrophic flooding in New Orleans, Ivor van Heerden was
one of the highest-profile media experts during the Katrina
disaster. Over the following eighteen months, he was even
more prominent as he challenged the official version of
those events and campaigned for an engineering plan that
would protect all of southeastern Louisiana, once and for
all. In The Storm, van Heerden lays out in full detail the
stunning incompetence among the bureaucrats, the
politicians, and the Army Corps of Engineers that
culminated in the catastrophe that crippled, perhaps
forever, a great American city.
