Dear Revealer,

Aaron Glantz is one of Reveal’s most ambitious journalists. His reporting on housing and inequality honored this year with a Peabody Award and named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Now, he’s out with a new book, “Homewreckers: How a Gang of Wall Street Kingpins, Hedge Fund Magnates, Crooked Banks, and Vulture Capitalists Suckered Millions Out of Their Homes and Demolished the American Dream.”

Coming October 15 from Custom House, it’s the first major piece of investigative reporting to explain who won when millions of Americans lost everything.

Aaron vividly reveals how a group of Wall Street bankers and private equity titans whom he calls the “Homewreckers” — including Trump cabinet members Steve Mnuchin and Wilbur Ross, as well as the president’s confidants and funders Steve Schwarzman, Tom Barrack and others — exploited a system in which billions of dollars in wealth was transferred to them from millions of individual homeowners after the real estate bust of the Great Recession. Furthermore, Glantz describes how many of these same people now are working to weaken the safeguards that were put in place to prevent a similar disaster and how proven programs from our history can be used to create systemic change in favor of the public rather than the Homewreckers.

To celebrate the release of “Homewreckers,” we are offering autographed copies of the book as a member perk. For the rest of the month of October, if you donate ([link removed]) at least $100, you will be able to claim a copy of “Homewreckers.” You also will be invited to a virtual book club with Aaron in November to hear more about his reporting and to answer your questions.

Finally, you can meet Aaron in person during the “Homewreckers” book tour event. See the full list of event dates and locations here ([link removed]) .

I hope you will claim your book today and join Aaron - online or in person - to talk more about his important work. Thank you for standing with us.
