I believe this book is 10x better than “Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House” by Amie Parnes and Jonathan Allen. Sources were named, Tapper provides his insight, and the story of how Biden’s closest allies kept DC & the nation out of the loop is borderline criminal.

I just finished this book on audio and was left with a strong sense of disappointment. While I understand the appeal of insider political accounts, this one felt unnecessarily opportunistic.
It was already clear to many of us that President Biden had been in cognitive decline... the signs were there, and we didn’t need a retrospective exposé to confirm what was widely observed. Writing a book about it after the fact feels not only redundant but also in poor taste. If any of this information truly mattered, the time to share it was when it could have made a difference, not after the moment had passed.
Even if we take the book with a grain of salt and assume 25% of it is accurate, it still comes across as a cheap attempt to profit off someone who has spent his life in public service. As a Canadian who follows U.S. politics closely, I found it especially disheartening to see a journalist like Jake Tapper descend into this kind of sensationalism.
This book could have offered thoughtful insight or meaningful reflection. Instead, it felt more like a cash grab than credible journalism.
