On Tuesday, August 11, Levees.org founder Sandy Rosenthal will do an outdoor Sidewalk Book Signing for her debut book at Octavia Books (513 Octavia Street) in New Orleans from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Words Whispered in Water: Why the Levees Broke in Hurricane Katrina (Mango Publishing) documents how the Army Corps of Engineers spent millions––in cooperation with the engineering establishment––to fool the American public on why New Orleans flooded in 2005.

A video of Rosenthal unboxing her books for the first time is trending and has been viewed over 50,000 times on Facebook and Twitter.

The book is selected by Publishers Weekly in Politics and Current Events for Fall of 2020. It has been a #1 New Release on Amazon.com for 36 weeks.

The book arrives on time for the 15th anniversary of the flooding disaster which took 1,577 lives according to the National Hurricane Center.
