Joe Biden

Evan Osnos traces a political life that ran from a Delaware Senate seat through eight years as vice president to the American presidency. Joe Biden is a reporter's portrait rather than a campaign document. Osnos draws on interviews and long-form reporting to set out how temperament, personal loss and an instinct for negotiation shaped Biden's approach to office. The book gives as much room to the setbacks as to the victories, and it places a single career inside decades of shifting American politics. Notable features: • Biography written by a working political journalist • Coverage from early Senate years through the 2020 election • Attention to personal history alongside political strategy • Context on how American party politics changed around him Readers of political biography and American affairs will find this Bloomsbury title informative, stocked at Boipoka.
