INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * USA TODAY BESTSELLER"Brutal." —Huffington Post"Scathing." —New York Post"[D]epicts Biden's decline in vivid detail." —Politico“So many revelations.” —Joe Scarborough, co-host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe"Bombshell." —Jesse Watters, host of FOX’s Jesse Watters PrimetimeThe 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 the 2024 election and its bloodsport politics in their 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 in a defining moment for modern American politics. 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 this landmark political history happened, revealing a story more shocking than previously reported.Exclusive Access: Go behind the scenes with more than 150 insiders from the Trump, Harris, and Biden inner circles, revealing their private motivations and innermost thoughts.A Historic Contest: Chronicles the unprecedented 107-day campaign that followed a sitting president dropping his re-election bid, a would-be assassin’s bullet, and felony convictions.Revelatory Reporting: Uncover the clawing, backstabbing, and secret deals that defined the battle for the White House, with details more shocking than previously reported.Unfiltered Politics: Witness American bloodsport politics in its rawest form, as every combatant—in their own party and the opposition—goes for the jugular.

This is the true story behind one of the greatest political comebacks in history and a behind-the-scenes look at the woman who may become the next president of America. "An appraisal of a compelling character who might, at the age of 69 in January 2017, be sworn in as the most powerful woman in the history of the world". (The Times, Book Of The Week). "A revealing window into the le Carre-like layers of intrigue that develop when a celebrity politician who is married to another celebrity politician loses to yet another celebrity politician, and goes on to serve the politician who defeated her". (Washington Post). "Provides useful context and intelligent analysis ...pumped full of colorful you-are-there details". (New York Times). Combining deep reporting and West Wing-esque storytelling, HRC reveals the strategising, machinations and last minute decision-making that have accompanied one of the greatest political comebacks in history.
