The Fight

A Secret Service Agent's Inside Account of Security Failings and the Political Machine

By: Dan Bongino

Narrated by: Dan Bongino

Length: 6 hrs and 11 mins

Publisher's summary

In The Fight, Dan Bongino picks up the story where his New York Times best-selling book Life Inside the Bubble ends to tackle current political and security issues and offer new solutions. From Hillary's emails to the security failings at the White House (including the drone crash and the fence jumper); from Charlie Hebdo to Bowe Bergdahl - the author examines how our current administration has allowed our security efforts to lapse both at home and abroad. He also offers solutions to the growing terrorist threat and how we can protect American citizens while also deconstructing what's wrong with our political process and what his experience running for office has taught him.

As a former member of the elite Presidential Protection Division who served three presidents, Bongino is uniquely qualified to provide a view from behind the curtain to warn listeners about the political system that is failing them and the security future that won't protect them. The majority of Americans come into contact with security only when they fly or enter their workplaces. They are rarely able to become acquainted with the politicians they know from robo-calls and TV ads. Bongino has experienced the inner workings of the national security apparatus and the failed political theater that we all feel but rarely understand. Using a mix of current events, an insider's analysis, and tales from his time protecting the president, he shows where clear and foreseeable leadership failures from our current administration led to grave consequences. From a broken political process to a president who consistently misreads the American people, he shows us where America has gone wrong and how we can fight back.

Critic reviews

"The Fight shines a much needed light on the troubling games DC politicians and insiders play with the American people." (Sean Hannity)

"The Fight is a lesson plan for fighting back against the Washington DC political machine." (Mark Levin)

amazing book, just amazing !!!!

anyone who really wants to know about what's going on in the government needs to get this.

Get BIG America!

Listening to Dan Bongino's inside p.o.v. on politics confirms everything I had been afraid of. What a wonderful book.

Should have been named "Get Big"

Great story! Great message! Author does a great job narrating. I can't wait for Dan to write another book.

Great listen.

Another great book by Dan Bongino. I hope he continues to author books and tells us more about the Secret Service, the good and the bad. Just the truth!

should be required reading in HS and college

He pulls no punches and tells it like it is. This book covers a wide range of topics and goes in-depth instead of skimming over them. Get big America.

Great book.

I listened to this several years after it was written. Dan has great insight for what is in store for our nation. Highly recomend

Conservative Americans need to hear this.

I think this is a great tutorial in the light of all the shadow govt that we are seeing since the election of Trump. It is just as obvious that we as conservative Americans need to continue to take an even stronger position against this evil. The people of America elected a new President just as sure as Obama was 8 years ago. We have to stop this assault on democracy. This book gives good outlines as to how that can and should be done legally and morally. Thanks for your service to our country and also giving us a very good lesson in the power we didn't even know we had as the little people.

Great Book From A True American Patriot

Where does The Fight rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book is in my top five list of all the audiobooks I have listened to.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Fight?

I really enjoyed Dan's description of how some Washington insiders have escaped prosecution for crimes that an average citizen would receive lengthy jail sentences for.

What does Dan Bongino bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His personal experience and passion for his work came through in a way that would be missed by reading the book.

Nice!

I always enjoy Dan's perspective and analysis of situations. He has a gifted ability to see through the garbage. I also enjoyed that he read the book for the audio version.

Confirmation

This book was confirmation of what I have been suspecting for some time now, Big government is the problem.
