CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 24, 2007- The city of New Orleans was battered by the gale force winds of Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005.
July 24, 2007 (Press Release) --
The destructive force of this storm was underestimated by officials in the city of New Orleans, and the nation at large. Legacy Audio Books produces a stupendous audio title that brings to the forefront the complexities of life, as the folk of New Orleans were ravaged by the storm. Breach of Faith: The Near Death of a Great American City, by Jed Horne ably details how the people of New Orleans survived, while local and state politicians fought to ensure the future of the city.
As the nation witnessed the cataclysmic affects of the storm, the desperate pleases for help on roof tops, reports of rape, looting, gratuitous violence and chaos; we were equally appalled by the pathetic response by FEMA during one of the most heartbreaking events of the century. “While others were attempting to escape the onslaught of Hurricane Katrina,” Jed Horne, metro editor of the New Orleans Times-Picayune “…was wading into the story of this great American catastrophe.” Horne writes vividly about the lives of Katrina survivors, before and after the storm.
Legacy takes listeners into the private lives and inner thoughts of storm victims from all walks of life to weaver a tapestry as intricate and vivid as the city itself. Politicians, thieves, nurses, urban visionaries, grieving mothers, entrepreneurs with an eye for quick profit at public expense - all of these lives collide in a chronicle that in harrowing, angry, and often slyly ironic.
“Breach of Faith” chronicles this Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist’s observations of the people, places and politics, especially the miscues of the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA). Years later, the city of New Orleans, and the state of Louisiana, continues to work through unparalleled challenges to restore New Orleans to prominence. “Breach of Faith” will give you a well-formed perspective of the complexities associated with this horrific tragedy. Legacy Audio is proud to present this audio book production of "Breach of Faith: The Near Death of a Great American City".
