From Politico journalist Alex Isenstadt, a fly-on-the-wall account of Trump’s 2024 campaign, through his stunning reelection.

According to his closest confidantes, even Donald Trump was taken aback by his decisive victory. The road to his reelection was much like everything else within Trump World; abrupt turns off the road of normalcy, head scratching comments & behavior, with too many surreal, “Can you believe this?” moments to count. Now, for the first time, readers will have the opportunity to learn what really took place over the course of his reelection bid.

In Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump’s Return to Power, veteran Politico journalist, Alex Isenstadt, shines a light on Trump’s improbable campaign. Through deep reporting and sourcing, Isenstadt takes readers behind the scenes of Trump’s unforgettable campaign; from dealing with competitors such as Ron DeSantis & Nikki Haley, to the assassination attempts, to the debate and thru Election Day. Isenstadt offers entrance into his inner circle and into the back rooms of Mar-a-Lago and “Trump Force One” providing a fly-on-the-wall account of the thoughts and reactions of the President-Elect and his closest aides.

Collectively, the portrait of a man whose worry over prison is matched only by his desire for retribution comes into sharp focus.

We all know what happened. Now, for the first time, readers will learn how Donald Trump and his team reacted—and responded—to the strangest, perhaps most consequential presidential campaign of all time.
