The Killing Fields of East New York: The First Subprime Mortgage Scandal, a White-Collar Crime Spree, and the Collapse of an American Neighborhood
by
by
A masterful treatment of a noteworthy example of modern American corruption.
The author vividly describes a multi-decade plundering process in a working class New York
City neighborhood.
Many readers would take note of the book's title and conclude that the work would be an esoteric volume for specialists only. They would be wrong. Author Stacy Horn deftly avoids the obvious risk of overuse of jargon concerning a classically American way for opportunists to steal an amazing amount of money without firing a single shot.
