Perilous Place, Powerful Storms: Hurricane Protection in Coastal Louisiana
Craig E. Colten
The hurricane protection systems that failed New Orleans in 2005 were the product of four decades of engineering hubris, excruciating delays, and social conflict. Craig E. Colten traces the protracted process of erecting massive structures designed to fend off tropical storms and examines how human actions and inactions left the system incomplete on the eve of its greatest challenge.
