"An impassioned argument for sustained national interest in the aftermath of a catastrophe."--The Advocate

"Doug Brinkley's chronicle of Hurricane Katrina has a keen sense of history and context"--Graydon Carter

"If you've grown numb to the horror of Katrina, this will wake you up. It's a stirring and important book."--The Arizona Republic

"[A] riveting story"--Cokie Roberts

"You can call "The Great Deluge" history, or you can call it journalism. But it's good stuff"--St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"Written with verve and energy, this is Brinkley's best book to date."--Times Picayune

"The first historical book that has researched the available record on Katrina and is the closest to actual fact."--Gov. Kathleen Blanco

"More dispassionate and analytical books will be written about Katrina, few will capture the human drama as well as Brinkley's."--Financial Times
