Inhoud:

Due to devastating flooding in 2011, the US Army Corps of Engineers activated the Birds Point-New Madrid Floodwa, a levee breach intended to divert water in order to save the town of Cairo, Illinois, but in the process, destroying the African American town of Pinhook, Missouri. This book examines two conflicting narratives about the flood.
