A review by joestewart
The Fifth Risk by Michael Lewis

4.0

This was an easy book to read and enlightening about how incoming administration‘s interact with the preceding administration. I was completely unaware of the approach that the Trump administration took: they assumed that they knew what they were doing and did nothing to prepare.

I was disappointed that Michael Lewis chose not to use footnotes and references. It would be a much more compelling book if both were present. Because they’re missing, the book lacks authority – I frequently wondered if he was making it up or not. Without the references, I’m left to wonder.
