The authors of the #1 New York Times bestseller Shattered provide a revelatory, inside look at the Biden, Harris, and Trump camps during the 2024 battle for the White House, arguably the most consequential contest in American history.

The ride was so wild that it forced a sitting president to drop his re-election bid, a once and future president to survive felony convictions and a would-be assassin’s bullet, and a vice president, unexpectedly thrust into the arena, to mount an unprecedented 107-day campaign to lead the free world.

Fight is the backstage story of bloodsport politics in its rawest form—the clawing, backstabbing, and rabble-rousing that drove Donald Trump into the White House and Democrats into the wilderness. At every turn, the combatants went for the jugular, whether they were facing down rivals in the other party or their own.

Bestselling authors Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes give readers their first graphic view of the characters, their motivations, and their innermost thoughts as they battled to claim the ultimate prize and define a political era. Based on real-time interviews with more than 150 insiders—from the Trump, Harris, and Biden inner circles, as well as party leaders and operatives—Fight delivers the vivid and stunning tale of an election unlike any other.

In the end, Trump overcame voters’ concerns about his personal flaws by tapping into a deep vein of dissatisfaction with the direction of the country. At the same time, Democrats struggled to connect with an electorate that felt gaslit by Biden’s insistence that he had delivered economic prosperity—and his pledge to be a “bridge” president. He tore his party asunder, leaving destroyed personal relationships in his wake, as he clung to power. And when he gave it up, he kneecapped Harris by demanding unprecedented loyalty from her.

As Allen and Parnes have done in the #1 New York Times bestseller Shattered and Lucky, they provide readers with a skeleton key to the rooms where it all happened, revealing a story more shocking than previously reported.

Joe Bidens EGO

Can’t verify details but it tracks. The only EGO larger than Trump is Biden and he led Dems right off the cliff. It was like watching a slow paced car wreck. He deludes himself and his team fed it. Then it spread to the whole party. Not going to say I knew Trump was gonna win, but if I was gonna place a bet, that’s where I would’ve gone. If any of this is shock to you blame your news source. It was right there in front of you.

Highly recommend.

Flip the R and the D and how would the media have handled this differently

It’s a good book but…

I wanted to hear this book, and I am glad I did. I have issue with what harris was “thinking” as if people knew what was going on in her head. It seems like a harris love fest at many times. Like Shattered, it is written in a way of putting conservatives and republicans in a bad light. From the nasty way they portrayed Trump and conservatives to the way they talk about them. As a medical professional I knew biden had dementia before he took the oath of office. It was evident in 2020 and yet his family and democrats ran him anyway. The family needs to be charged with elder abuse. I have told others to listen or read both of their books- it lets you know what the DNC really thinks about 66% of this country ( I lump moderate democrats in that group) This book is a must read so you can see how biden’s decline was hidden by his staff, the DNC , and the biased media. Shame on all of you. Telling people doctors that he was fine. He was not. It did endorse why I would not ever vote for a Democrat, why I did not support harris, and would never support her. Many need to understand that we had a limp noodle in charge of the nuclear codes and pelosi and all of them were complacent with it. And now I know why the democrats are polling at 27%. Oh and harris lied throughout her debate- my son’s base had been attacked many times that summer while he was deployed in the middle east and she had no idea our troops were in harms way. Yup. Great book. Proved to me why we dodge many bullets

somewhat unbiased and informative

I enjoyed the behind the scenes stories and backstabbing. most of it seemed as unbiased as possible but you can feel a tiny slight tilt more in favor towards the left. just a tiny bit.

Fairly told

Good book but why all the F-words? Why can't you tell a great story without so much profanity?

Authentic

It was interesting and held my attention and was revelatory. The best of the genre
