the Story of Washington Mutual--the Biggest Bank Failure in American History

Informative, understandable, and believable. Slow moving at the start, and the writing style is very plain. She was mostly fair, but I thought she tended to excuse the WaMu executives a little too much. The reasoning seemed to be sure they made a lot of bad loans, deceived a lot of borrowers, and misrepresented the bundles of loans they packaged, but they could have survived if only the regulators hadn't shut them down because of lack of liquidity.
