Levees.org founder Sandy Rosenthal’s debut book has received the 2020 Silver Nautilus Book Award.

On its website, Nautilus describes its selections as “better books for a better world.”

The award to Rosenthal’s book is in the Journalism and Investigative Reporting category.

Rosenthal’s book is titled Words Whispered in Water: Why the Levees Broke in Hurricane Katrina and was published by Mango Media in August 2020.

In her book, Rosenthal describes how she created the group Levees.org to find out the true reason that New Orleans flooded in August of 2005.

In her quest for the facts, she discovered that the culprit, the US Army Corps of Engineers had spent millions fooling the American public and harassing anyone who stood in its way.
