一部关于科学、政治、种族、荣誉、上流社会和密西西比河的美国史诗,《涨潮》讲述了这个国家有史以来最大的自然灾害--1927年的密西西比洪水--的引人入胜和几乎被遗忘的故事。这条河淹没了近100万人的家园,帮助休伊·朗当选州长,让赫伯特·胡佛成为总统,把数十万黑人赶到北方,永远改变了美国的社会和政治。纽约时报年度最佳图书,南方图书评论界奖和莉莲史密斯奖赢家。
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 New York Times Notable Book of the Year, winner of the Southern Book Critics Circle Award and the Lillian Smith Award.
