From Politico’s National Political Reporter Alex Isenstadt, a fly-on-the-wall account of Donald Trump’s history-defying reelection campaign, illustrating how he overcame seemingly insurmountable challenges to return to the White House.

Over the course of the last four years, the American public looked on as the former president faced a series of daunting obstacles to return to the White House. The lingering cloud of January 6, a shadow effort within the Republican establishment to defeat him in the primary, multiple indictments, assassination attempts, and an 11th hour change of his opponent all threatened to derail his return to power at any moment.

In Revenge, journalist Alex Isenstadt takes readers deep into Mar-a-Lago, inside the courtroom, and aboard “Trump Force One” to show how Trump and his revamped team responded, overcame, and in some cases orchestrated each and every surreal moment in this one-of-a-kind presidential campaign. Based on extraordinary access and over 300 interviews, Isenstadt paints a unique and deeply revealing portrait of a man bent on returning to the White House at all costs – and who successfully portrayed himself as an avatar of vengeance for the millions of Americans who voted for him.

Now, for the first time, readers will experience Trump’s reelection bid from the inside. Politics & Government Revenge 21st Century Modern

Although the author treated this material with less bias than many, his descriptions of things Trump said and did often lacked context, portraying Trump in a more negative light than was warranted.

Only somewhat biased…

I'm not at all a Trump supporter, quite the opposite actually, but I love history and politics. I don't think the author takes a positive or negative take on the story, just the facts. I wish there were a bit more inside details, but what you get is pretty good. Some of the other reviews seem to take it as a pro-Trump redemption story, but I didn't come away with that outlook. The same people that spread propaganda about George Soros paying plants to protest seen to have no issue at all with Elon Musk openly paying people to vote Red.

if you followed the election, you already know most of it, but it's still a great listen.

The author buys whole heartedly into false narratives about Trump. very frustrating.
other than that there's some very interesting things within the book that most people would find interesting and enlightening, but it's going to be a bit difficult to know what actually is true given that clear and undeniable falsehoods are spoken as if they are 100% factual.
the most obvious being the Charlottesville very fine people hoax which the author reiterates as factual. if he can't even get that correct among others that are in the book then one is left wondering what else he is overtly lying about.

contains lies already proven false!
