Description: The Fifth Risk by Michael Lewis The New York Times Bestseller, with a new afterword "[Michael Lewiss] most ambitious and important book." —Joe Klein, New York Times FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Michael Lewiss brilliant narrative of the Trump administrations botched presidential transition takes us into the engine rooms of a government under attack by its leaders through willful ignorance and greed. The government manages a vast array of critical services that keep us safe and underpin our lives from ensuring the safety of our food and drugs and predicting extreme weather events to tracking and locating black market uranium before the terrorists do. The Fifth Risk masterfully and vividly unspools the consequences if the people given control over our government have no idea how it works.

He lives in Berkeley, California, with his family. Review "A hymn to the deep state, which is revealed as nothing more than people who know what theyre talking about." -- Cory Doctorow"Fascinating—and at times harrowing…Lewis tells an important and timely story, one that all of us who pay for, care about, and want government to work should hear." -- Brian Naylor - NPR"Lewis has written a countercultural, almost subversive, book: one that praises the intellectual curiosity, dedication, foresight and sense of mission he finds among Americas federal workers." -- Carlos Lozada - Washington Post"[A] spellbinding, alarming analysis of the most serious threats to Americans safety happening now from inside the U.S. government." -- Don Oldenburg - USA Today"[The Fifth Risk is] so prescient its goosepimpling." -- Jennifer Senior - New York Times Review Quote "[The Fifth Risk is] so prescient its goosepimpling."
