Summary: "The heroes in this useful book are bound by their passion and devotion for getting unvarnished truth to people caught in massive chaos, bungling, and unfathomable suffering. With hindsight, each institution portrayed in Covering Disaster could have performed their duty better, some much better. The ones that did best experienced this extraordinary calamity along side the audiences they served, and in so doing, connected with people in profound and enduring ways. Other lessons presented by the authors---no matter how telling---pale in comparison to the shared `we're all in this together' reality."--- Robert W. Mong, Jr., Editor, The Dallas Morning News
