Synopsis

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!""Brutal"" —Huffington Post""Scathing"" —New York Post“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 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.

Goodreads review by Bren fall in love with the sea. on April 23, 2025

A few things before I start my review. If you are a supporter of Donald Trump, you probably don’t want to read my review. If you are a supporter of Barack Obama or Nancy Pelosi and bristle at any criticism of them, you probably do not want to read this review. If you hate long reviews, and can barely......more

Goodreads review by John on April 05, 2025

It was more or less balanced, but not as eye-opening as is being reported. Side from perhaps a few sentences, it's nothing you didn't already know of you were paying attention during the campaign cycle. Personally, I don't understand the abundance of F-bombs in a political analysis, claiming it was w......more

Goodreads review by Tim on April 08, 2025

Well... this was a depressing read. There is some extraneous "gossip" that seems to actually be the authors' opinions disguised as fact, but most of it seems to be pretty factual. After reading this book, I am sure of a few things that strongly led to the 2024 election loss: 1) Biden should never ha......more

Goodreads review by Mandy on April 07, 2025

Fight was easily one of my most anticipated reads of the year, I absolutely devoured Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes’ previous collaboration about the 2020 election, Lucky, and as soon as I heard they were doing a follow-up about 2024, I knew I had to put myself through the torture of reliving that e......more
