The Fifth Risk by Michael Lewis

5.0

I love Michael Lewis' books and I'm fascinated by how the government works, so this book was right up my alley. I loved diving deeper into various cabinet-level departments and learning more about their mission, as well as some stories of the personnel who have worked there over the years. It's a sobering look at just how bad things can get when political and corporate interests override the public good for which the departments were established. Definitely worth a read for anyone interested in government and/or public affairs.
