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 and 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
