"All the Devils Are Here" goes back several decades to weave the hidden history of the financial crisis in a way no previous book has done. It explores the motivations of everyone involved, delves into the powerful American mythology of homeownership, and proves that the crisis ultimately wasn't about finance--it was about human nature.

Reviews

McLean (The Smartest Guys in the Room) and New York Times reporter Nocera offer perhaps the best account of the 2007-08 financial crisis for hard-core business readers. In addition to examining the careers of well-known players like Angelo Mozilo, Lloyd Blankfein, and Alan Greenspan, they also investigate lesser-known financiers such as Moody's former president Brian Clarkson and Fannie Mae's Franklin Raines.
