This is an extremely detailed, but factual, account of the last days of the S & L industry. It will only be of interest to insiders to this sad story, but tells everything that the media didn't and should convince the thoughtful reader that there really was another side to the story. There is so much factual detail that it is very difficult reading, but for the many dedicated S & L employees who were shamed by the way events were reported, true vindication.

King's work is a must for those interested in financial institutions and how inside lobbying tactics affected an industry during a critical real estate depression. This book is excellent history, but it is also relevant to today's real estate market.
