The new biography of President Joe Biden by National Book Award
winner and New Yorker staff writer Evan Osnos - A Financial Times,
Guardian and Daily Express Book of the Year 'A thoroughly readable
primer' Guardian 'Biden has overcome unimaginable tribulation,
multiple presidential primary humiliations, a potentially crippling
speech impediment and his own mediocrity. Now he carries the hopes
of billions upon his shoulders' Sunday Times President Joseph R.
Biden Jr. has been called both the luckiest man and the unluckiest
- fortunate to have sustained a fifty-year political career that
reached the White House, but also marked by deep personal losses
that he has suffered. Yet even as Biden's life has been shaped by
drama, it has also been powered by a willingness, rare at the top
ranks of politics, to confront his shortcomings, errors and
reversals of fortune. His trials have forged in him a deep empathy
for others in hardship - an essential quality as he addresses a
nation at its most dire hour in decades. Blending up-close
journalism and broader context, Evan Osnos illuminates Biden's life
and captures the characters and meaning of an extraordinary
presidential election. He draws on lengthy interviews with Biden
and on revealing conversations with more than a hundred others,
including President Barack Obama, Cory Booker, Amy Klobuchar, Pete
Buttigieg, and a range of progressive activists, advisers,
opponents, and Biden family members. In this nuanced portrait,
Biden emerges as flawed, yet resolute, and tempered by the flame of
tragedy - a man who just may be uncannily suited for his moment in
history.
