“The juicy new Biden book [that] is plenty revealing.”
—Politico West Wing Playbook
“(Whipple is) exactly the person you want to talk to right
now.”
—John Dickerson, CBS News
“In this feat of a book, Whipple assesses the Biden
presidency at the halfway point [and] has managed what seems to be
a first: a two-year running conversation with a White House chief
of staff. Whipple’s comprehensive approach adds dimension to the
news stream and Whipple shines when he lets people talk…The
Fight of His Life is a herculean effort. For any future writer
eager to describe Biden’s first two years, this will be the book
cited first and most often.”
—New York Times Book Review
“An inside account of the president’s term…Whipple enjoys stunning
access to some of the most senior policymakers in the
country.”

power...fascinating and timely.”

“With The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden’s White
House, Chris Whipple has taken a crack at assessing Biden
midstream, and Whipple’s credentials make him an excellent
candidate to do so….There are many insider-y observations in [his]
book. . . He is a sharp observer and sympathetic listener and
deploys his access to the Biden White House to put you straight
into the president’s mind, the book’s considerable
strength.”
—Air Mail
“[A] closely observed account of the accomplished yet beleaguered
Biden White House [in which] Whipple delivers a few dishy bits of
inside baseball. There’s more to the current administration than
meets the eye, and Whipple is a reliable, readable
interpreter.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“A fascinating insider’s account of the first two years of the
Biden administration…Whipple provides a balanced assessment of the
administration’s successes and failures…Distinguished by Whipple’s
impressive access and incisive character sketches, this is a
valuable first draft of history.”
