Book Review

City Adrift: New Orleans Before and After Katrina. By Jenni Bergal, Sara Shipley Hiles, Frank Koughan, John McQuaid, Jim Morris, Katy Reckdahl, and Curtis Wilkie. A Center for Public Integrity Investigation. Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 2007. xiii + 168 pp. Illustrations, notes, and index. Cloth $22.95.
