Uncharted

How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History

De: Chris Whipple

Narrado por: Mark Bramhall

The New York Times bestselling author of The Gatekeepers and The Spymasters now turns his sharp eye towards the historic 2024 presidential race, providing the definitive, insider account of the most dramatic and significant political showdown in modern American history.

A disastrous debate, a would-be assassin’s bullet, an electrifying eleventh hour candidate swap, dramatic and surprising VP selections, betrayals behind closed doors, charges of a stolen election, game-changing blunders—the history-making 2024 presidential election is a political saga of Shakespearean proportions. In minute-by-minute detail, esteemed White House historian and political analyst Chris Whipple chronicles the unprecedented drama as it unfolds, documenting the true story of the Harris and Trump campaigns and the difficult, urgent decisions made in the back rooms of power, with the future of American democracy at stake.

Alternating between the Biden/Harris/Walz and the Trump/Vance camps, Whipple tells the fly-on-the-wall story of campaign 2024, drawing on his unique access to exclusive sources on both sides, including conversations with members of the candidates’ inner circles. Whipple goes behind the scenes of every headline-making moment to reveal how a post-debate intra-party rebellion forced Biden to step aside, how the nomination of Vice President Harris at a thrilling convention reshaped the race, how Harris rallied excited voters across generations and demographics, but ultimately could not overcome the underlying weaknesses of her campaign. Whipple also burrows inside Donald Trump’s campaign to reveal startling new insights into how he overcame primary opponents and multiple prosecutions, rebranded his base to appeal to Gen Z voters, and forged powerful alliances with Silicon Valley CEOs like Elon Musk.

An intimate portrait of American politics on the edge, filled with previously untold stories, anecdotes, and insights, Uncharted is the authoritative account of this pivotal chapter in American politics. As he brings to life the most dramatic and important presidential campaign of the modern age and puts it into historical perspective, Whipple exposes how ambition, conviction, and resilience collide at the highest echelons of power, offering a deeper understanding of the forces that define a divided nation.

I got snookered….don’t you get snookered

I heard an interview with this author hawking his book. He had a lot of the “right stuff” in that but did say “.. there is something for everyone”.There sure is. It’s the usual biased diatribe in faux “journalistic” style that has become the norm. The other one and two atar reviews say it all. I did mine to make sure I get my one star counted. He has a very thinly veiled contempt and disdain for all things Trump per usual. And for the rest of the deplorable group. Meanwhile Biden ? A great president with highly successful policies and presidency but with some tragic nobility even in his diminished, demented, debilitated state. Obfuscation is strong with all things on the blue side. His economy was great. I don’t even think he mentioned the unleashed hoards at the southern border that were so very key in this election. There is the usual references to THE “bloody insurrection” and “violent insurrection”. But in the end, once said by another great - “elections have consequences” His buddies LOST and the “bad guys” WON. SO DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THIS GUY’S ECONOMIC WELL BEING.

Liberal Bias on display!

The author in the beginning brags about his lack of partisanship but by halfway through the total liberal bias was astounding. If you want to have your liberal bias confirmed then this is the book for you. Facts are twisted, Kamala put on a pedestal, and complete lies are told in this book. it's really cringe worthy listening to. Total waste of time.

One Sided

Not even one chapter in I saw this author has nothing of relevance to say. He tells the story as if the corruption in the Biden camp was for nothing but pity for a poor old man. We all have eyes and ears but was being told that our observations were baseless. That was proven dead wrong and no amount of spin put on this story can excuse that corruption away. Do not waste your money.

Left wing horseshit

The author attempts to play it down the middle but his choice of words and phrases throughout the book leave little doubt about his leanings. The entire thing is a love letter to biden even in his obvious dimented incompetent state.

Very biased and one sided.

This book oozes with reverence for Biden and Harris and contempt for Trump. If you want an unbiased clear-eyed account, go with “Fight”.

Another Rehash of What We Already Knew

As with another recent book on this subject, Fight, I have found that Uncharted covers the same information already released to the public following the 2024 Presidential Election. Nothing new, same old-same old…

Meh

Painted Biden as a victim, spoke of Harris in glowing terms, all things Trump (other than Suzie Wiles) is authoritarian and vile. Typical left-wing echo chamber talking points. isn't hard enough on the Harris campaign or give the appropriate credit to Trump's. Wouldn't recommend.

If only they'd given him a better seat at MSG!

For a chapter or two I thought this guy might be writing right down the middle but, alas, rather early on his bias burst through and stayed there. And when he got to the Trump rally at MSG and whined about being relegated to the "nosebleed" section, all credibility was gone. Reads swiftly but there are only so many times you can call Trump a liar without explaining why before suspicion sets in.

Nothing new

This book came out just a few weeks after fight by Allen and Parnes; and in my opinion that was the better book. This book did have some details about the Harris campaign, Bidens issues with cognitive decline, but on the whole, the Allen and Parnes book (called Fight) went deeper, provides more details, and I also found it to be less biased. If you’re looking for the best book on how Trump beat Harris, I’d recommend Fight over this. And for both books, it’s a bit shocking that the authors were so surprised by what almost anyone looking at Biden could see! Still, I’m glad that I listened to it.

Basically a way left sided skewed view of the election

Disappointed there’s no objectivity and seems just like a propaganda piece. Regret buying this as I didn’t expect the extreme bias.
