Although many people lived through the housing crash, lots of them still don't know the whole story of what happened. Like "The Big Short," this book helps explain the behind-the-scenes actions which caused so much misery for so many people.

If you have seen the movie or read the book "The Big Short" you need to read this book also. If not you still need to read this book it is very informative. The main focus of this book is the housing bubble and collapse of the banks and the housing market around 2007 and 2008. This book should make you mad. I will not go in to a lot of detail because I feel it will give a lot of the details. But I will say I cannot believe how our government gives things away. This is not a one sided political that finds fault with one political party as it finds fault with many different presidents including the last two administrations. It does cover a lot of the individuals that are advising or surrounding our current President. And I thought he drained the swamp after reading this it makes you wonder. Every citizen should read this book.

This is the book that will renew outrage about America’s wealth gap, the state of American homeownership, and the systemic corruption within the American financial system.
Are your eyes glazing over? Stop it, because this book doesn’t just spill the tea about the housing bust as much as dumps the tea into a nearby harbor. It’s an outrageous, well-sourced, riveting account of how a few real estate moguls profited from the economic crisis that devastated millions. Like some of the best crime documentaries, Homewreckers has a nonstop, take-your-breath-away narrative (unethical shell companies have gobbled up an absurd amount of foreclosed homes), so grab some coffee, and go read Homewreckers. It’s a must-read.
