Book Review of Isaac's Storm : A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History

Isaac's Storm : A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History
bba avatar reviewed on


I read this book a long time ago, but I recall that it was very well written. And now with Katrina, Haiti, and the Japanese disasters in very recent memory this is a very pertinent book. It helps to explain, for one thing, why and how government response to a tragedy (and failure to prevent or save lives beforehand) can be so very inadequate. An informative book for our times.
