Haynes Johnson Bücher
Dieser Autor wurde für seine vier Jahrzehnte als Journalist geschätzt und bot tiefgründige Einblicke in innenpolitische Angelegenheiten, insbesondere in Bezug auf die Hauptstadt des Landes. Seine Arbeit zeichnet sich durch ein tiefes Verständnis komplexer Themen und eine Gabe für klare, prägnante Analysen aus, was seine Berichterstattung zu einem Maßstab für Exzellenz macht.
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.
