In this brilliantly readable book, Haynes Johnson takes us behind the scenes at the turning points of a decade: the poor became homeless while the rich embraced the new religion of greed; in the crucible of Iran-Contra, our foreign policy became the plaything of fanatasists; American enterprise chased dangerous paper profits in junk bonds and takeover deals; and the savings industry, cornerstone of the American dream, collapsed overnight into fraudulent ruin.
