I received an advance copy of this book. Thank you.

I found this book very interesting, and appalling. Stacy Horn did an amazing and thorough job of researching this book, in fact there are 30 pages of resources! New York was a rough place in the 70's and the conditions in East New York, were even worse and more desperate. Those in banking and lending saw prey and clawed to get every last little bit that they could without thinking twice. I loved reading about the people who were determined to expose the truth. I hated to read about the fear, the murders and the needless suffering of so many.
Like many others who have reviewed this book, I wish the book had been lineal, starting in the 60's lead to the current time. Not only would this have made it easier to keep track of the people involved, but I think it also would have highlighted, that despite progress, there is still a lot left to be done to help so many. Because of this, I felt the book was closer to 3.5 stars, but the research and importance of the subject made it 4 stars.
