Three award-winning reporters offer the definitive, inside story of the most tumultuous and consequential presidential campaign in US history.

Nearly four years after Donald Trump's first turbulent presidency concluded in a violent attempt to overturn the election, he 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?

In 2024, 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 and pave the way for a second term that would be far more aggressive and ruthless than the first. Drawing on extraordinary access to the Trump, Biden, and Harris teams - including an exclusive interview with Trump himself - 2024 takes readers beyond the speeches, rallies, and debates to reveal the innermost workings of the Republican and Democratic presidential campaigns.

The authors reveal in unrivalled detail how Joe Biden and his team brushed off concerns about his age, ignored polling numbers, and held off the next generation of eager Democratic hopefuls - only to withdraw after a disastrous debate performance under four months before the election. They delve into how Biden's anointed successor, Vice President Kamala Harris, approached running the shortest presidential campaign in US history: a challenge in and of itself but one that Biden would make even more difficult. And they vividly describe how, early in the morning on 5 November 2024, Trump was elected the nation's forty-seventh president, and would return to power vindicated, emboldened, unrestrained, and burning for revenge.

Gripping, revelatory, and deeply reported, 2024 is the shocking inside story of the election that tested American democracy - and has already reshaped the future of the free world.
