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.

It’s rare that a campaign season has anything like an IRS whistleblower and a California US attorney saying they were blocked from pursuing charges, foreign wire transfers of millions of dollars going to several members of politician’s family, suspicious slap-on-the-wrist plea deals, mounds of incrimination texts, a previously unacknowledged child with a stripper, and multiple congressional investigations. It’s unprecedented to have them all tied to one politician like Joe Biden.

The United States Congress has always been messy and far-from-august, but as Annie Karni and Luke Broadwater show here, in scorching, shocking detail, it has reached some kind of chaotic bottom. The anarchy that reigned over Congress’s lower chamber in the wake of the January 6th attack on the Capitol Building—the election of serial liar and con-man George Santos, revenge porn being shown on the floor of the house, and the theatrical high jinks of Lauren Boebert—all were a sign of decay and dysfunction of the highest order.

On January 20, 2021, standing where only two weeks earlier police officers had battled with right-wing paramilitaries, Joe Biden took his oath of office. The American people were still sick with COVID-19, his economists were already warning him of an imminent financial crisis, and his party, the Democrats, had the barest of majorities in the Senate. Yet, faced with an unprecedented set of crises, Joe Biden decided he would not play defense. Instead, he set out to transform the nation.

However, it did not shock anyone closely following her situation. Gay stepped down less than a month after giving disastrous testimony in Congress about her university's laissez-faire approach to protecting Jews on campus from rising expressions of antisemitism that followed Hamas's terrorist attacks on Israel.

Douglas Murray, #1 international bestselling author and renowned cultural commentator, confronts arguably the most pressing question of our time: Why are Western supporters of Palestine unwittingly aligning with an evil empire? The campus left frames the violent hostilities as white colonialists committing genocide. Yet only a third of Israelis are Ashkenazi Jews of European ancestry. Murray argues that the conflict is not a simple tale of oppressor versus oppressed, but a clash between a thriving multi-racial democracy and a death cult bent on its destruction.

Hillary Clinton’s surprising defeat in the 2008 Democratic primary brought her to the nadir of her political career, vanquished by a much younger opponent whose message of change and cutting-edge tech team ran circles around her stodgy campaign. And yet, six years later, she has reemerged as an even more powerful and influential figure, a formidable stateswoman and the presumed front-runner for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, marking one of the great political comebacks in history.

Award-winning reporters Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf bring us the definitive and explosive account of how Trump and his advisers overcame a dozen primary challengers, four indictments, two assassination attempts, and his own past mistakes to defeat the Democrats, and pave the way for a second term that would be far more aggressive and ruthless than the first.

Story
Over his 50-year career in Washington, Joe Biden has become known for his wild dishonesty, embarrassing policy failings, and an absolute lack of accountability, culminating in his predictably unpopular presidency. But what has not yet been revealed is the vast web of consultants, bureaucrats, corporate titans, foreign interests, and various extended family members (it’s not just Hunter!) who have achieved unfathomable wealth and power while keeping Biden in charge.

Story
The United States Congress has always been messy and far-from-august, but as Annie Karni and Luke Broadwater show here, in scorching, shocking detail, it has reached some kind of chaotic bottom. The anarchy that reigned over Congress’s lower chamber in the wake of the January 6th attack on the Capitol Building—the election of serial liar and con-man George Santos, revenge porn being shown on the floor of the house, and the theatrical high jinks of Lauren Boebert—all were a sign of decay and dysfunction of the highest order.

Story
Douglas Murray, #1 international bestselling author and renowned cultural commentator, confronts arguably the most pressing question of our time: Why are Western supporters of Palestine unwittingly aligning with an evil empire? The campus left frames the violent hostilities as white colonialists committing genocide. Yet only a third of Israelis are Ashkenazi Jews of European ancestry. Murray argues that the conflict is not a simple tale of oppressor versus oppressed, but a clash between a thriving multi-racial democracy and a death cult bent on its destruction.

Open borders, record inflation, and skyrocketing crime—Joe Biden’s first term is one of the most craptastic in American history. But on Planet Brandon, it’s all going according to plan . . . He received 81 million votes. His party controlled the House and the Senate. He took office with a nearly 60 percent approval rating. His first month saw the economy recovering nicely and the new COVID-19 vaccines being distributed around the country. And, in his words, he had the awesome power to mobilize “truinernashabada pressure.”

Story
To trace the history of the twenty-first century so far is to trace a history of unaffordability and shortage. After years of refusing to build sufficient housing, America has a national housing crisis. After years of limiting immigration, we don’t have enough workers. Despite decades of being warned about the consequences of climate change, we haven’t built anything close to the clean-energy infrastructure we need. Ambitious public projects are finished late and over budget—if they are ever finished at all.

Good read, very interesting.
The authors did well to write without sounding overly partisan. But the foul language is overwhelming at some points. Story would have been great without the vulgar language.

a balanced look back
I saw an interview about this book on Fox News just the other day and immediately purchased it. Perhaps better than any other book on American politics I have ever read, this book humanizes the election that, as I write this in April 2025 we all remember very clearly. It humanizes the people involved, it makes you feel like you are literally there with them, it is an incredible piece of literature and a wonderful time capsule.

2024 History
I was excited to listen to this production, because I'd been hearing so much about "Fight" in the news. While it's certainly engaging and kept my interest throughout, I walked away a little disappointed.
"Fight" does a good job with a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff that serves as a companion to what we all watched play out in the news over the summer and fall of 2024. The book captures the impressions of political operatives of various levels on both sides of the aisle, from unnamed staffers to the candidates themselves. These diverse voices offer intriguing insights into why the election turned out the way it did.
However, the authors also depict the inner thoughts of various figures, including the candidates. While some of these recollections may come from interviews with the book's subjects, some of them, including the private thoughts of Trump, Biden, Harris & Pelosi (among others), can't be anything other than pure conjecture on the authors' part.
I was disappointed also by the lack of real insights in the book, a task made harder, admittedly, by the recency of the events depicted in "fight." I didn't feel I learned anything new, but rather got confirmation on things that I'd already suspected, or got to see the behind-the-scenes events that inspired them.
Lastly, while the people discussed in this book are generally portrayed with something like objectivity (or at least a game attempt to be objective) regardless of their political affiliation, the authors are unable (or unwilling) to depict Kamala Harris as anything more than as a kind of genial cipher, a well-intentioned biographical blurb, possessed of some generic virtues and no real faults except perhaps naivete, and entirely lacking in agency. With a couple notable exceptions, she seems to drift through this narrative, completely at the mercy of forces not of her making and beyond her control.
I'm glad I read this book, and if the subject interests you, it's a fair bet you'll enjoy it, too. Having said that, I expect that when the dust clears and the passage of years gives historians a chance to draw fresh insights from this election, we'll see more a more incisive analysis of this period. Until then, this is probably the best we've got.

A deep dive into the collapse of one candidate and the return of another.
The story was compelling, and does not suffer from the problems of similar publications around the 2024 election that have a more overt slant. The narrator does not stand out, but that may be a strength depending on your taste. If you like Shattered, or simply want to understand the backroom conflicts and political maneuvers of mid to late 2024, then this is a fine audiobook to listen to.

Well Written, but a bit cliche
If you were alive and paying attention during the 2024 Presidential Election in America--you've already "read" the book. The authors are fair, write clearly, and the book is a good read. But there was nothing new, nothing surprising. Likely, it is a bit too soon for a deep analysis of the 2024 election. So, I was a bit disappointed. Great narration, by the way.

Confirmed my opinion of politicians!
All I can say is there seems to be one constant in successful politicians-very large egos. Everyone is aware of Trump’s-he doesn’t even try to hide it, but the rest? Crazy how much Trump and Biden have in common personality wise. Even in different circumstances they could never be friends. There are no door frames big enough for them both to get through!

Comprehensive overview of Democrat failures in '24
I bought this book because I had heard about it through some news stories and interviews the authors participated in. I was expecting more of a 50/50 split about the strategies of both the Republican and Democratic campaigns, but this book pretty much exclusively covers the Dems. I was a little disappointed about this at first, but I can understand why they did not want to focus much on Donald Trump's campaign after thinking on it more. The elephant in the room that the American people were told to look away from was the giant cluster of a show the Democratic party put on by trying to hide Joe Biden's decaying cognition.
The book showcases the hubris, selfishness, and entitlement of Biden and his family, and how they chose to enhance his glory and legacy over taking the humble, realistic option of not running again. The book will put you in the room of the stakeholders who were fighting for or against Biden's decision. You can really feel the desperation through the book, and parts of the book will leave you angered at the fact that this entire process is treated as a game, and that no one chose to speak up sooner about there being a mentally incompetent 82-year-old running the most powerful country in the world (side-kicked by an establishment hack VP that clearly had no strategical thinking ability, no political savvy, and had no pulse on any of the issues).
The book is well-written and avoids pundit talk. You will not find many talking points from either side (if any), so you are already cutting through a lot of the surface level "commentary" that we are usually feed from traditional sources. I did not appreciate the speculation on the thoughts of the players, however. How can quote what Donald Trump is thinking? Obviosuly he is quite hard to read and nail down. It really took away from the immersion and is obviously highly speculative. I would not venture down this path again in future books.
If you are a Democratic voter who still believes in the Biden/Harris presidency and campaign, this book will have a lot of hard pills to swallow regarding how the party mislead the American people. If you kept up with the 2025 election, this will fill in a lot of the gaps for you and will be a good listen/read. Hopefully Democratic strategists and politicians are picking up a copy as well--they may learn that they are NOT entitled to the country's vote just because they feel they have the moral high-ground by whispering sweet nothings.
