Dispatches from the Edge

I am ristening to Anderson Cooper's Dispatches from the Edge: A memoir of war, disaster, and survival. It is much better than I expected. Indeed it is very good, but very short. It has many interesting, and often sad, stories (from family deaths, to stories from war torn nations).

Probably more than anyone else, Anderson Cooper told the world the Katrina Story. I have wanted to thank him for it, but never did. Maybe buying the book was my way.

In the book he again reminds everyone of the awful response to Katrina. I got mad all over again.

The book may not be one of the best ever, but the chapter on Katrina alone makes the purchase worthwhile.

Definitely recommended!
