The ebook version of "Raping Louisiana: A Diary of Deceit" is now available as an ebook with the print version soon to follow from Cambridge Books.
RAPING LOUISIANA: A DIARY OF DECEIT is a non-fictional account of clean-up efforts after the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. It is not, however, your normal story filled with facts, figures and statistics. This story puts a human face on an area that was raped by nature and deceived by its government. Based upon the diary of a truck driver by the name of Steve, we see a first hand account of the daily routine, the challenges and the bureaucratic ineptness that have, and still plague the residents of Louisiana. From leaving his family in northern New York to his daily runs removing mountains of trash, the remnants of lives destroyed, Steve tells a story in his diary entries that is far removed from the “official” accounts of government agencies and “spin doctors.” Author, Philip Harris uses these diary entries to masterfully create a new mural of the despair and frustration that still exists in Louisiana. If this account reflects an accurate portrait of our nation’s emergency preparedness system, you may want to be sure you have your own personal emergency plan ready.
