What Fresh Hell?: The Best of Levees Not War: Blogging on Post-Katrina New Orleans and America, 2005-2015

A decade in the making, the long-awaited "dead tree" edition in a concise, concentrated $14.95 paperback. What Fresh Hell? brings together 10 years of blogging on war and peace; politics and society in the Obama and Bush-Cheney years; infrastructure-on-life-support; and the environment in a time of extreme weather. The New Orleans-dedicated, New York-based blog Levees Not War was founded in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina, and now serves up liberal portions of sharp, spirited writing, grounded in a vision of the social contract--a society held together by honoring the Golden Rule--along with interviews with experts, tributes to activists and civil rights leaders, on-the-scene reporting from Occupy Wall Street, and more. Featured pieces include - "Is Katrina More Significant Than 9/11?" - " 'Oil-Spotted Dick' Cheney's Oily Fingerprints in the BP Disaster" - "Public Works in a Time of Job-Killing Scrooges," - and "Omigod! Infinite Iraqi Freedom! We're Never Leaving!"
