The Fifth Risk

 New York Times bestselling author Michael Lewis delves into the chaos within American bureaucracy during the period following the 2016 election in his new book The Fifth Risk (W.W. Norton & Co). Describing a government attacked by its own leaders, The Fifth Risk takes readers behind the scenes to a looming crisis, where unsung heroes attempt to keep the machinery running, despite slashed budgets and staff, discarded briefing books, and willfully ignorant appointees.
