Uncharted

How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History

By: Chris Whipple

Narrated by: Mark Bramhall

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.

Let's see how many lies we can repeat

This was a 'get Trump' book! plain and simple!
So many of the stories Whipple told have been proven to be false, but he repeated them exactly like they have been repeated for years!!!
The few things that he said about Biden were things we already knew!!!
He painted Harris like she was a savior.
Thank God that didn't work out.
This book was a waste of time and money.

The other reviews nail it: Not even handed

Having seen some interviews about this book, I was excited to read an objective behind-the -scenes book about both campaigns. Sadly, it’s was really a usual, overdone narrative about how the Biden-Harris camp were just victims of circumstance and Trump world is bad. There are other post-election books out there. Perhaps this isn’t the one. Ironically, the author does come off a bit self promoting and a bit self important… a common critique he has of Trump.

Very partisan and not objective

Starts out acting like a journalist, but reveals his true partisan colors as the book goes on. Promotes many unproven lies about Trump, and he seems sincerely depressed about Harris losing. Very condescending toward Trump supporters, and he doesn’t get why the democrats really lost. Also, the reading performance wasn’t great. The only saving grace about the book was the few insider (behind the scenes) facts from the two campaigns that were revealed.

Old news Orange Man Bad

This is old news and the author can’t get his head around “Right Wing ideologues “
The narrator has a weak and aging voice that doesn’t command attention
Can I get my dollar ?

Boring

This book was a first person narrative of happenings that lacked more evidentiary materials that are known. It just gave a one sided view of the author but presented nothing
