Insightful and informative. Lewis' new book sheds light on the goings-on inside numerous government departments and agencies, particularly the DOE, DOA, and Commerce Department. I confess to ignorance on many of these departments, so there was value to me in that regard alone. But "The Fifth Risk" doesn't just highlight the services provided by these departments, it also reveals the risk associated with mismanagement of these assets. And herein lies the concern. Trump's appointees (and lack of appointees) is a potential nightmare scenario. Ignorance is not always bliss. Let's hope Lewis' warning is heard and acted upon.

It's important to point out that this is not a political ax job. Lewis is clearly concerned with Trump, but his concern is with regards to expertise, rather than political affiliation. Enlightening for members of both parties.

Philip Just finished Lewis' excellent The Premonition: A Pandemic Story, which was even more timely.
