About this item
The New York Times bestseller!"The Fight shines a much needed light on the troubling games DC politicians and insiders play with the American people." -Sean Hannity"The Fight is a lesson plan for fighting back against the Washington DC political machine." - Mark LevinIn The Fight, Dan Bongino picks up the story where his New York Times bestselling book Life Inside the Bubble ends, tackling current political and security issues and offering new solutions. From Hillary's emails to the security failings at the White House (including the drone crash and the fence jumper) ; from Charlie Hebdo to Bowe Bergdahl--the author examines how our current administration has allowed our security efforts to lapse both at home and abroad. He also offers solutions to the growing terrorist threat and how we can protect American citizens while also deconstructing what's wrong with our political process and what his experience running for office has taught him. As a former member of the elite Presidential Protection Division who served three Presidents, Bongino is uniquely qualified to provide a view from behind the curtain to warn readers about the political system that is failing them, and the security future that won't protect them. The majority of Americans only come into contact with security when they fly or enter their workplace. They are rarely able to become acquainted with the politicians they know from robo-calls and TV ads. Bongino has experienced the inner-workings of the national security apparatus and the failed political theater that we all feel but rarely understand. Using a mix of current events, an insider's analysis, and tales from his time protecting the president, he shows where clear and foreseeable leadership failures from our current administration led to grave consequences. From a broken political process to a president who consistently misreads the American people, he shows us where America has gone wrong and how we can fight back.

After joining the US Secret Service in 1999, Dan received a Department of Justice award for his many investigations and arrests while assigned to a financial fraud task-force. In 2006, Dan entered into duty with the elite Presidential Protective Division during the administration of President George W. Bush. Dan became one of the earliest tenured agents to be given responsibility for an operational section of the protective detail and he remained on protective duty with President Barack Obama.One of their most distinguished agents, Dan's assignments included the coordination of President Obama's visits to Prague, Jakarta, amongst a myriad of terror threats, and finally as the lead agent responsible for President Obama's visit to an active war zone in Afghanistan.Upon resigning from the Secret Service in 2011, Dan began a grassroots campaign for the US Senate in Maryland against the state's deep-rooted Democratic establishment. Despite overwhelming odds, he defeated 9 opponents in the Republican primary and finished second in a three-way race in the general election. Dan ran again in 2014. This time for the US Congress against a first-term Democratic opponent who had recently defeated the Republican representing the district by an incredible 21 points, in a newly gerrymandered district designed for easy Democratic victories. Shocking nearly everyone, in a race that was universally declared "uncompetitive", Dan won the race on Election Day, yet lost the election over the coming days by just 1 point as the absentee ballot count was finalized.
