The Fifth Risk

"The thought that Donald Trump may have been totally unprepared to become president after the 2016 election is one that’s familiar to anyone who has been following the day-to-day crises and dramas of the White House closely. But a new case for this argument is revealingly and startlingly made by Michael Lewis in his fascinating – and at times harrowing – new book. “Getting to know the U.S. government,” Lewis writes, “had not been high on Donald Trump’s to-do list, even after he learned that he’d be running it.” Lewis tells an important and timely story, one that all of us who pay for, care about and want government to work should hear."

"Michael Lewis's latest piece of investigative journalism, 'The Fifth Risk,' blew my mind with its revelations about the inner workings and recent evisceration of the federal government bureaucracy."

"reading Michael Lewis's "The Fifth Risk" I found myself constantly throwing the book across the room in fits of rage."
