About this audiobook
Who better to shine a light into the shadows of the nation's capital in the age of Trump than the bestselling author of Liar's Poker and The Big Short?
In this audio investigation—unavailable in book form—Lewis narrates his 2018 report from Washington originally published in Bloomberg View. From inside the White House press room—which Lewis describes as having “the cramped, uncared-for feel of a public toilet”—to a balcony overlooking “a sea of white people” in the Trump International Hotel, to Steve Bannon’s Capitol Hill townhouse, where he joins the former campaign CEO to watch the State of the Union address, Lewis takes listeners on an unforgettable behind-the-scenes tour.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Mike Lewis is always so interesting and bang on the money in his understanding of what’s behind the scenes of financial failures, business successes and now with this insight into how Donald Trump got elected

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This can be just a Youtube video or an article. It does show more about the political climate but if you follow the news you might already know all this.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Anyone interested in a good story should listen! Michael lewis is one heck of a storyteller and being able to hear his own voice reading his own story really drives home the parts he intended to hook! No matter your political stands, give it a listen.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good. But could have given more insights of Bannon. A carácter.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The more I read about the Trump Whitehouse the more cartoon like the Trump years seem. Interesting treatment of Steve Bannon, don’t know who is “telling the truth”
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I don't like it. It is too bias for any one to read.
