A review by lucasbrooks
Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and How It Changed America by John M. Barry

dark informative reflective sad slow-paced

4.0

For those wanting to learn more about the 1927 flood, I am sure there are shorter books. Read this one for a comprehensive (some would say bloated) look into the lives of those making key decisions about the Mississippi, both during the flood and decades before it.
