THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
'A well-paced, thorough and often (darkly) humorous account of the two-year campaign season that began when Donald Trump announced he was running for president again . . . Thrilling.' New York Times
The most definitive, deeply researched and authoritative account of the most tumultuous election in US history.
In 2024, Donald Trump made a political comeback on a scale that stunned the world. How did the first US president to become a convicted felon regain control of the White House? And at what cost?
Here, three award-winning reporters 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. It is a damning and revelatory inside account of an election that tested American democracy – and which has already transformed the future of the free world.
‘The most well-sourced and judiciously written reporting from the campaign that you will find . . . 2024 is the best book of its kind I have read.’ Philip Collins, Observer
‘Charts the delusions of the main players and the disastrous debate that reset the campaign . . . 2024 is a book for these times: aptly named deeply sourced.’ Lloyd Green, Guardian
‘By speaking to insiders on all sides of the debate, it lifts the lid on the near misses, fatal errors and lucky saves that led to the situation today.’ Katy Balls, The Times
2024 is a well-paced, thorough and often (darkly) humorous account of the two-year campaign season that began when Donald Trump announced he was running for president again . . . Plenty of thrilling fly-on-the-wall moments. * NEW YORK TIMES *
[This] deeply sourced narrative charts the delusions of the main players and the disastrous debate that reset the campaign . . . Yet 2024 is about more than the horse race. It also chronicles how the elites unintentionally made Trump’s restoration possible, despite a torrent of criminal charges against him, 34 resulting in convictions, and civil lawsuits that saw him fined hundreds of millions of dollars. * GUARDIAN *
With deep reporting and strong analysis, this might emerge as the definitive title on a hugely consequential election * KIRKUS *
By speaking to insiders on all sides of the debate, it lifts the lid on the near misses, fatal errors and lucky saves that led to the situation today. * THE TIMES *
[Dawsey, Pager and Arnsdorf write] with a rigour and craft unsurpassed in political campaign reporting . . . The book is full of such arresting, close details: this is the most well-sourced and judiciously written reporting from the campaign that you will find. * OBSERVER *
In a sprawling new book, [Pager, Dawsey and Arnsdorf] assembled a deeply reported chronicle of this consequential election cycle, starting back in 2022 before the midterms. * VANITY FAIR *
