review 1: A highly detailed and revealing critique of how the various agencies of government handled the September 11 terror attacks. Farmer goes on to draw correlations between the mistakes of 9-11 and those of the government's handling of Hurricane Katrina. Most refreshing to see these two subjects handled with analytical insight, wisdom and sanity. On the more critical side, a healthy portion of the sometimes tedious transcripts of communications between agencies such as the FAA, NEADS, and NORAD (serving as backup evidence) may have better served the book in a appendix, with judiciously chosen excerpts making the points in the book's main body.
review 2: The senior council to the 9/11 Commission, and former Attorney General of New Jersey in charge of that state's ... moreemergency management department, analyzes government response to the 9/11 attacks and Hurricane Katrina day by day, telling what happened and highlighting what went wrong. He concludes that few steps have been taken to implement the problems these disasters revealed about government emergency response, particularly on the federal level. less
