JoNel’s Reviews > Rising Tide: the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and How it Changed America > Status Update

Very readable. Great explanation of the geographical, political and social elements that contributed to the flood's devastation. Thought provoking quote from influential Greenville, Mississippian LeRoy Percy "...the maintenance of any form of government worthwhile means a constant struggle..." He said it in 1923. Feels very timely almost a hundred years later.
