This is a wonderful book. Anderson wrote it in such a manner that world events take on a very peronal perspecive. You end up feeling a greater personal responsibility and connection to all the countries and particularly our own where the targedy of katrina was also made personal, and about how horrifying it was that our own government didn't do more. As I said, it is a poinent book, and it also has interwoven in the book, about Anderson Cooper's life; his own personal tragerdies, and about his life being a Vanderbilt (his motherwas gloria Vanderbilt).
