About this listen

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.

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

Basically a way left sided skewed view of the election

Sorry I wasted my money on this trash. I couldn't even finish it. Other than being totally biased against Trump, the book is plain boring.

Biased Left Wing Junk

Entertaining.

However, its slant against Trump paired with the lack of any objective criticism for the tactical failures of Harris erodes its credibility.

Slanted and Uncredible

The material on Biden’s actions doesn’t offer much that hasn’t been revealed and his references to Trump’s issues ignored fact checks like the Charlottesville recording of what Trump actually said. Whipple also falsely claimed that the Dobbs decision stripped women of their “right” to an abortion. Whipple also offers the highly weak claim that Tim Walz was called “Tampon Tim” because of his support for women’s rights. That is a ridiculously contrived explanation that probably appears here for the first time ever. The widely known reason for that nickname is because as governor, he put tampon machines in boys’ school bathrooms to accommodate menstruating girls who identified as boys.
An author has no responsibility to one side or the other, but they should conduct sound reporting. Also, the book was promoted as an expose of the Biden campaign mistakes and misdeeds and barely was even that.

Should Have Been Called “How The Good Guys Lost”

Just discuss the facts. Present the story. Biased and childish in his descriptions of anything Trump. Chris is mad. Trump won. “If only the world knew how amazing Biden was, he would’ve won.” There are better books about this subject.

Just Tell the Story

It was supposed to be about Biden turns out criticizing Trump! Big farce! The first few minutes told about Biden the nothing but Trump then how great Harris was.

Not worth listening after first 10 minutes.

Although this book well describes the dysfunctionality exhibited during the 2024 campaign the author's one-sided disparagement of Trump & his staff was repulsive. Freely referring to Trump as a felon without addressing any of the Biden lawfare antics & his referral to Jan 6 as an insurrection despite all of the evidence to the contrary reduced the author's credibility with me. It seems like the author accomplished his primary goals but I find myself regretting having listened to what I did. NOT RECOMMENDED!

Condescending

I purchased this audible book selection to hear what we already knew. I needed that confirmation.

It is unfortunate that Joe Biden was used. It is unfortunate that people voted for Biden because he was “….lesser than two evils…”

I lost respect for mainstream media- The Jake Tappers, the Mika’s, CBS, NBC, ABC are all lairs.

Biden and Harris did great damage to our country. Their focus was on the wrong thing - gender ideology, GREEN NEW DEAL, fighting wars that were not America’s, and much more. People were suffering. As a black woman, I didn’t appreciate Obama and Kamala talking down to the black community.

I do know that Kamala does not need to run for any level of political office.


Thanks for telling us what America already knew about Biden and Kamala!

Very interesting content, but author has a strong bias towards Biden and Harris. Harris avoiding the press hardly mentioned.

Interesting content, very liberal view

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I was expecting to hear a fair & honest analysis of the shortcomings of the Biden-Harris campaign. Although their mistakes were touched on, the author kept ripping on Trump & everything WRONG in HIS campaign!
I found it strange to be SO FOCUSED on the Election WINNER & HIS Campaign. While listening to this audiobook I kept exclaiming to myself “YOU STILL DON’T GET IT (Why us despicable, loathsome, working class Americans LOVE the MAGA movement & it’s leader Trump)!!!”
THEN I realized that the Author’s, Left’s & MSM’s inability to understand what most hard-working Americans know & feel is probably a good thing…
It could lead to the continuance of MAGA & getting to this country’s “Golden Age” long after Trump.
Thanks for 3 things in the book though:
1. A quick & easy listen.
2. A good laugh (at all the left-wing lies & nonsense).
3. A true (although incomplete) “analysis” of why & how Trump won & Harris lost at the very end.
I guess the listen wasn’t a complete waste of time.

They still haven’t learned
