Hardcover - 256 pages (November 2010)
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal Talks Candidly About Oil Spill and Obama's Response
Tragic.
It's perhaps the best word to describe the BP oil spill—and the federal government's response (or lack thereof) to it.
And in his blockbuster new book, Leadership and Crisis, Governor Bobby Jindal divulges never-before-published details about not only the oil spill, but the Obama administration's incompetent handling of it.
From the federal government's lack of solutions and resources to the copious amounts of red tape and bureaucratic processes that stymied the containment efforts—Jindal lays bare the unvarnished truth.
Leadership and Crisis also reveals the Governor's own inspiring story and how he has dealt with other crises of our times, from Hurricane Katrina to out-of-control spending in Washington, D.C.
What is Jindal's secret to cutting through the red tape and getting things done?
Embracing common sense solutions that most bureaucrats and politicians ignore in favor of government-as-usual practices.
In Leadership and Crisis, Governor Jindal reveals:
- How the Obama administration spent too much time worrying about public perception and not enough time actually fighting the oil
- Why the bureaucratic incompetence during Hurricane Katrina was even worse than you know
- How he took on Louisiana's infamous culture of corruption
- His own journey from Hinduism to Christianity, from student at Oxford to Governor of Louisiana, from policy wonk to instant midwife when he had to deliver his third child himself
Filled with behind-the-scenes stories from the oil-slicked marshes of Louisiana to the corridors of power in the U.S. Capitol, Leadership and Crisis offers an insider's view into one of the largest environmental disasters in the world—and into one of the most unique American success stories in politics.
