- Summary
- "While other rescue operations struggled in the post-storm chaos of Hurricane Katrina, those men and women wearing the United States Coast Guard uniform powered through many obstacles--political, logistical, and physical--to save the lives of New Orleanians. Thanks to the largest and most successful rescue operation in American history, the USCG saved 33,500 people using surface and aerial recovery tactics in the wake of Katrina. With admiration and respect, Capt. Robert Mueller tells the intimate account of his experience as head of rescue operations and honors not only the 'Coasties' but the citizens of a city affected by the worst natural disaster in its history"--Amazon.com.
