The Fifth Risk by Michael Lewis

3.0

This is a book that is less about Trump and more about how the US federal government works. I'm not American so most of this book is new information for me. I thought it would be about Trump but it's really more about explaining the government and how it is a big deal that Trump doesn't understand or care about how the government works.

For what the book is, it was a good read. I know it sounds like it's kind of boring to read about how the government works but it's not like a textbook or anything like that. It was written really well, in a narrative kind of way, and the author made it simple to understand these hugely complicated departments and systems. Overall, I liked the book.
