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.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50066985648471,"sku":"9781526635167","price":13.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526635167.jpg?v=1740544115","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/joe-biden-9781526635167","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
