Haynes Johnson Books
Esteemed for his four decades of journalism, this author offered profound insights into domestic affairs, particularly concerning the nation's capital. His work is characterized by a deep understanding of complex issues and a gift for clear, incisive analysis, making his reporting a benchmark for excellence.
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.
