A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book for 2011 One of The Economist's 2011 Books of the Year In Reckless Endangerment, Gretchen Morgenson exposes how the watchdogs who were supposed to protect the country from financial harm were actually complicit in the actions that finally blew up the American economy. Drawing on previously untapped sources and building on original research from coauthor Joshua Rosner—who himself raised early warnings with the public and investors, and kept detailed records—Morgenson connects the dots that led to this fiasco. Morgenson and Rosner draw back the curtain on Fannie Mae, the mortgage-finance giant that grew, with the support of the Clinton administration, through the 1990s, becoming a major opponent of government oversight even as it was benefiting from public subsidies. They expose the role played not only by Fannie Mae executives but also by enablers at Countrywide Financial, Goldman Sachs, the Federal Reserve, HUD, Congress, and the biggest players on Wall Street, to show how greed, aggression, and fear led countless officials to ignore warning signs of an imminent disaster. Character-rich and definitive in its analysis, and with a new afterword that brings the story up to date, this is the one account of the financial crisis you must read.

The Israeli/Palestinian conflict erupts in NYC in this "hair-raising" pre-9/11 thriller from the New York Times-bestselling author of Material Witness (People). An elderly Jewish couple has been gunned down in their Fourteenth Street delicatessen. Above them, anti-Israel graffiti has been scrawled in Arabic. Evidence points to a few clueless teens, but this seemingly open-and-shut case threatens to stir up a dangerous and divisive media frenzy. As rhetoric from Jewish and Muslim community leaders reaches fever pitch, prosecutor Butch Karp and his wife, private investigator Marlene Ciampi, fight to keep the city from coming apart at the seams. But the truth behind the horrifying crime is far more dangerous than anyone thought--and more victims are turning up. If public outrage doesn't destroy the city, an ingenious group of conspirators just might. From the former New York assistant DA and bestselling author of Infamy, this is a classic entry in the Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi series, which shows 1970's New York in all its violent, dirty glory. Reckless Endangerment is the 10th book in the Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. "While the legal writing is as expert as ever, this book gets its punch from Tanenbaum's knotted, tangled vision of Manhattan." --The Washington Post Book World "Hair-raising." --People

Instead of devoting the next year to embracing opportunity amid turmoil, though, the lawmakers waged the worst legislative assault in history against the commonsense safeguards we all depend on to protect our environment and health. In a single calendar year, the Republican-led House voted nearly 200 times to weaken, block, or delay needed measures that defend our air, water, wildlife, and lands. This book tells the story of that misguided campaign, how it put our nation at risk, and where we need to go from here, for the sake of Americans everywhere, for the sake of our children's future.
