Book Description
In the depths of the Great Recession, a cancer nurse, a car dealership worker, and an insurance fraud specialist helped uncover the largest consumer crime in American history—a scandal that implicated dozens of major executives on Wall Street. They called it foreclosure fraud: millions of families were kicked out of their homes based on false evidence by mortgage companies that had no legal right to foreclose. Lisa Epstein, Michael Redman, and Lynn Szymoniak did not work in government or law enforcement. They had no history of anticorporate activism. Instead they were all foreclosure victims, and while struggling with their shame and isolation they committed a revolutionary act: closely reading their mortgage documents, discovering the deceit behind them, and building a movement to expose it. Fiscal Times columnist David Dayen recounts how these ordinary Floridians challenged the most powerful institutions in America armed only with the truth—and for a brief moment they brought the corrupt financial industry to its knees.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 389
Book Description
Chain of Deceit Book 1 is a story that starts in the later years of World War II with mission to end World War II. The plan was to drop the first atomic bomb on Berlin. Moving the first untested atomic bomb across the Atlantic Ocean during a war was not going to be easy and had to remain completely secret; not even the crew or Marines guarding the bomb knew what was in the crates. Little did they know that two crates were the bomb and two more were loaded with gold bullion. The captain of the Liberty ship hated the war and had his own idea as to how to end it. But the best-laid plans go to hell when the shooting starts, as they say. The war made it easy for a group of ruthless men to create a black market ring and sell stolen military hardware and supplies. Davin Pierce, ex–Army first sergeant and now Marine insurance investigator, is assigned to investigate why military hardware is in a warehouse in New Orleans and not at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean as reported. This is the start of a series that touches on many aspects of our lives, military, politics, love, hate, greed, deceit, and much more.

Masters Of Deceit: The Story Of Communism In America And How To Fight It
Author: J. Edgar Hoover
Publisher: Pickle Partners Publishing
ISBN: 1786256193
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 415
Book Description
The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation explains the startling facts about the major menace of our time, communism: what it is, how it works, what its aims are, the real dangers it poses, and what loyal American citizens must know to protect their freedom. MASTERS OF DECEIT is a powerful and informative book—a firsthand account of American communism from its beginnings to the present, written by a man more intimately familiar with the complete story than any other American. Mr. Hoover shows the day-to-day operations of the Communist Party, USA: who the communists are, what they claim, why people be-come communists and why some break away. He describes life within the Party, communist strategy and tactics, methods of mass agitation and underground infiltration, espionage, sabotage, and its treatment of minorities. The picture of what life in this country would be under communism (toward which thou-sands of misguided Americans actually are working now!) is vivid and shocking. The forceful, driving message of this book is clarified with many incidents and anecdotes, definitions of communist terms, key dates, and a list of international communist organizations and publications which illustrate the communist Trojan horse in action. And it concretely outlines just what you can do now to combat the evils of the “false religion” of communism, so that you can stay free. MASTERS OF DECEIT is one of the most important books of our time—a warning of the clear and present danger to our way of life.

Subjects of Deceit
Author: Alison Leigh Brown
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 0791497763
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Philosophy has traditionally concerned itself with truth and the knowledge of truth, but in recent years these concerns have been undermined or redirected. Systematic philosophy is said to be dead. Thus epistemology, according to this popular series of views, is properly transformed into epistemologies. If we accept multiple epistemologies, however, truth and lying become even more frightening and elusive: lying always coexists with truth. In this book, Alison Leigh Brown explores the connection between epistemological and moral "lying." She shows that although telling a lie (a moral category) is not the same thing as being in untruth (an epistemological category), these two aspects of life are related. Throughout the book, a phenomenology of deceit is interspersed with a continuing dialogue between the phenomenologist and one of her students.

Remembering and Imagining the Holocaust
Author: Christopher Bigsby
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139461117
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
This is a meditation on memory and on the ways in which memory has operated in the work of writers for whom the Holocaust was a defining event. It is also an exploration of the ways in which fiction and drama have attempted to approach a subject so resistant to the imagination. Beginning with W. G. Sebald, for whom memory and the Holocaust were the roots of a special fascination, Bigsby moves on to consider those writers Sebald himself valued, including Arthur Miller, Anne Frank, Primo Levi and Peter Weiss, and those whose lives crossed in the bleak world of the camps, in fact or fiction. The book offers a chain of memories. It sets witness against fiction, truth against wilful deceit. It asks the question who owns the Holocaust - those who died, those who survived to bear witness, those who appropriated its victims to shape their own necessities.

The Law of Contract Damages
Author: Adam Kramer KC
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1509951261
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 699
Book Description
Praise for previous edition: '... very comprehensive; very competent; and, what I think will be seen as its chief virtue ... very clear' – David Campbell, Law Quarterly Review 'I enjoyed...every part of this book. Mr Kramer's analyses are carefully developed and almost always useful and illuminating.' – Angela Swan, Canadian Business Law Journal Written by a leading commercial barrister and academic, the third edition of this acclaimed book is the most comprehensive and detailed treatment available of this important dispute resolution area. Previous editions have been regularly cited by the English courts and academic literature. The third edition covers all key case law developments and updates since 2017, with very substantial rewrites of the loss of chance, scope of duty and negotiating damages chapters (including in the light of Supreme Court decisions in Perry v Raleys, Edwards v Hugh James Ford Simey, Manchester BS v Grant Thornton and Morris-Garner v One Step (Support) Ltd). It also includes expanded share purchase warranty and causation sections, and a new chapter on the construction of exclusion clauses. To aid understanding and practicality, the book is primarily arranged by the type of complaint, such as the mis-provision of services, the non-payment of money, or the temporary loss of use of property, but also includes sections on causation, remoteness and other general principles. At all points, the work gathers together the cases from all relevant contractual fields, both those usually considered-construction, sale of goods, charterparties, professional services-and those less frequently covered in general works-such as SPAs, exclusive jurisdiction and arbitration clauses, insurance, and landlord and tenant. It also refers to tort decisions where relevant, including full coverage of professional negligence damages, and gives detailed explanation of many practically important but often neglected areas, such as damages for lost management time and the how to prove lost profits. The book provides authoritative and insightful analysis of damages for breach of contract and is an essential resource for practitioners and scholars in commercial law and other contractual fields.
