The Foreclosure of America: The Inside Story of the Rise and Fall of Countrywide Home Loans, the Mortgage Crsis, and the Default of the American D

I was impressed by the material, the information and the reality of the book. This discusses the situation from an insiders perspective. I am not pleased with what has occurred in America to date regarding our banking problems. This book deals with the realities of how we got here. I recommend this book for those wanting to learn more.

Adam Michaelson's book is an eye opener, to say the least. I have to compare the book to a major water cooler gossip session, laying bare the motivation (greed), politics (of course) and inner workings of Countrywide from someone who was actually ON the inside. For those of us who've watched in horror as this economic disaster has unfolded, the book answers quite a few questions about how the landslide began, and how it evolved into the avelanche that's wiped out the lives of so many. The book is written in such a manner as to make the reader feel as though they're receiving insider trading tips. There are even little excerpts of humor sprinkled liberally throughout the book, which, by the time you run across them, god knows you'll need the laugh. Interesting enough that I read it through without stopping.

I just received this book and I am astounded at the accuracy in Mr. Michaelson's depiction of the state of our recent economic affairs and what lead to the downfall of our economy. It's a must read book. Not only does it explain how our nation got here, but gives you tremendous insite on what not to do in the future. B-

I thought this book was fascinating. It gives a real insider view that is balanced and insightful. It was hard to put down. A very easy read. Considering what is going on now, it should be required reading.

This is a great book one that is very revealing and informative. I couldn't put the book down and would highly recommend it to everyone.
