From the New York Times bestselling author of The Gatekeepers comes a revelatory, news-making look at how President Joe Biden and his seasoned team have battled to achieve their agenda--based on the author's extraordinary access to the White House during two years of crises at home and abroad. In January of 2021, the Biden administration inherited the most daunting array of challenges since FDR's presidency: a lethal pandemic, a plummeting economy, an unresolved twenty-year war, and the aftermath of an attack on the Capitol that polarized the country. Waves of crises followed, including the fallout from a divisive Supreme Court, raging inflation, and Vladimir Putin's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. Now, in The Fight of His Life , prizewinning journalist Chris Whipple takes us inside the Oval Office as the critical decisions of Biden's presidency are being made. With remarkable access to both President Biden and his inner circle--including Chief of Staff Ron Klain, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and CIA Director William Burns--Whipple pulls back the curtain on the internal power struggles and back-room compromises. Featuring shocking new details about how renegade Trump officials enabled the transfer of power, which key staffers really make the White House run (it's probably not who you think), why Joe Biden no longer speaks freely around his security detail, and what he really thinks of Vice President Kamala Harris, the press, and living in the White House, The Fight of His Life delivers a stunning portrait of politics on the edge.
Chris Whipple is a writer, documentary filmmaker, journalist, and speaker. He is a graduate of Yale University with a B.A. in History. He has been a producer for CBS's 60 Minutes and ABC's Primetime. He has won Multiple Peabody and Emmy Awards. He was the creator and executive producer for the ABC show What Would You Do. He was the writer and executive producer of The Spymasters: CIA in the Crosshairs, seen on Showtime. He is the chief executive officer of CCWHIP Productions. His book, The Gatekeepers: How the White House Chiefs of Staff Define Every Presidency, is a New York Times best seller.
