#$ RISING TIDE THE GREAT MISSISSIPPI FLOOD OF 1927 AND HOW IT CHANGED AMERICA

This book provides an eye-opening history of how our country began planning, designing, financing and building our nations infrastructure. It involves competing egos of brillant men who challenged one another through the laws of physics and politics that all came to reality during the Great Flood of 1927. The Hurricane Katrina disaster in New Orleans in 2005 tells us we didn't learn our lessons in '27. Have we learned them now? Only time will tell. This book will continue to be a popular historical read as future floods challenge our levee systems and flood control projects across the nation. It should be required reading for anyone involved in public service; especially those who work for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
