Story4.5 out of 5 stars 408
An American epic of science, politics, race, honor, high society, and the Mississippi River, Rising Tide tells the riveting and nearly forgotten story of the greatest natural disaster this country has ever known, the Mississippi flood of 1927. The river inundated the homes of nearly one million people, helped elect Huey Long governor and made Herbert Hoover president, drove hundreds of thousands of blacks north, and transformed American society and politics forever.

a little dry, but good
Reviewed: 01-25-23
probably the best way I can describe this book.. the writing and presentation are a little dry, but when the closing music started I honestly felt like "dang it, I'm ready to hear MORE from the regional/social/political/etc viewpoints!!"
very informative book, growing up in 80s 90s Louisiana, I'd heard something about Hoover, about "the great flood", about Percy.. but this gave a great review of that era and filled in a knowledge gap.
AND.. I was supposed to read this book for college.. never got past 1st chapter.. NOW its finally done.. 20+ years later, lol!!

The Summer of Chaos has ended. Ansalon's nightmare has only just begun. The gods have departed the world, heralding a new Age of Mortals. But before the dust of war can settle, vast shadows cover the land. Dragons have come to Ansalon, larger and more powerful than any ever seen, and they will wreak havoc on nations still trembling from war. As the lands themselves begin to change under the dire magic of the new dragon overlords, new heroes arise to lead the fight for freedom.
