About this listen

The authors of the #1 New York Times bestseller Shattered provide a revelatory, inside look 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 listeners with a skeleton key to the rooms where it all happened, revealing a story more shocking than previously reported.

Traumatic listening for Harris fans! But great to revisit the campaign. The book focuses on reporting who said what to whom - it doesn’t delve into demographics. It’s balanced between the Trump / Harris camp. Who gets the blame for Democrat disaster? You’ll have to listen!

A fascinating dissection of not only how Trump won, but more so of how Kamala and Biden lost it. Biden’s desire to remain in power definitely cost the democrats, and the book makes clear how desperate he was to remain in the picture…even after he stepped down. However, what seems to have hurt Kamala just as much is the fact she was suddenly thrown into the spotlight, and didn’t seem to have a “why” to back up her running for the most powerful office.

It was interesting listen, but I thought it was ridiculous that the narrator read women like Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris as though they are little delicate, earnest wallflowers, when they have famously strong distinct voices.

Interesting, but a lot of conjecture

A mostly unbiased view of the 2024 election. Probably the best book available on the subject.

An interesting read

The authors have invented or guessed at thoughts and feelings of the actors they write about. Not sure I came away with new insights, only the confirmation that Washington politics is not a place to find a good culture.

Half fiction.
