Goodreads Rating
This book by Sarah Kendzior delves into the erosion of American liberty and the rise to power of Donald Trump. Kendzior expertly links key moments in Trump's life with the degradation of American politics and the erosion of civil liberties by foreign powers. This book offers a never-before-seen look at her personal life and her lifelong tendency to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hiding in Plain Sight is a necessary examination of the ongoing loss of freedom and secrets behind a burgeoning autocratic United States that have been hiding in plain sight for decades.

This book uncovers the chaos that ensues when the transition team for President Trump fails to show up at the US Department of Energy to learn about their new roles. Michael Lewis' gripping narrative exposes the dangerous consequences of a government under attack by uninformed leaders who show disregard for the critical services that keep our society safe. From ensuring food and medication safety to tracking down black-market uranium, Lewis masterfully paints a vivid picture of the fallout when those in control lack understanding of the government's inner workings.

Excellent book: “The Fifth Risk” by Michael Lewis. It was written before COVID-19 but it explains a lot about how things are happening.      source
