Top 10 Best Books About Joe Biden In 2020
Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. is currently running to become the next President of the United States of America. A man marked by political scandals and personal tragedies, the Democratic presidential candidate is set to challenge Donald Trump come November. However, do you know his life and career enough to either like or dislike him?
Whether favorable or critical, there are books available on the market that should help you get a more informed view of the 2020 presidential nominee. Here are 10 of them:
Described as "the definitive biography" of the 47th vice-president of the United States, Joe Biden: A Life of Trial and Redemption is based on "exhaustive" research by one of Washington's most prolific journalists. The book includes exclusive interviews with Biden's confidants and family members, as well as former President Barack Obama and even Biden himself.
Joey: The Story of Joe Biden is "the first ever" picture book about the childhood of the 47th vice president himself. Available in Kindle, Audiobook, hardcover and audio CD formats, it includes never before told family stories about the now-presidential candidate's young life -- all written by his spouse Jill Biden.
Authored by Biden himself, Promises to Keep: On Life and Politics reveals what his tragic and near-fatal experiences had taught him about himself, his colleagues (including former President Obama), and the institutions of government. The book recounts the author's childhood in a staunchly Catholic Pennsylvania and Delaware households, as well as his brushes with personal tragedies, life-threatening illnesses and career setbacks, all of which shaped his life principles.
Also authored by the former veep, Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose is a "deeply moving" memoir about the year that would change both the Biden family and the country. (That year was Thanksgiving 2014, which was celebrated by his family even as he was aware that his eldest son Beau was diagnosed with a brain tumor months earlier, taking his life two years later.) The audiobook version, in particular, even features Biden himself as the narrator.
Joe Biden: The Biography by University Press is a "short and captivating" portrait of one of the most recognizable figures in American politics. Available in Kindle and paperback formats, this short book tells an "intensely" human story of a man who is changing the world in a way that no one else can.
Yesterday's Man: The Case Against Joe Biden exposes the forgotten history of the now Democratic presidential candidate. Available in Kindle and paperback formats, it chronicled "Middle-Class" Joe and how he orchestrated the Democratic Party's rightward turn. Authored by a Jacobin staff writer, it is a good read for those who want to know the "real" Biden.
The Book of Joe: The Life, Wit, and (Sometimes Accidental) Wisdom of Joe Biden is "the ultimate guide" to the former vice president and now Democratic presidential candidate -- filled with all the fun, all the inspiration, and none of the "malarkey." The book covers the key chapters in Biden's life and career, filled with classic sayings from him, such as "That's a bunch of Malarkey" and "I may be Irish, but I’m not stupid."
No Ordinary Joe: The Life and Career of Joe Biden tells the story of the presumptive Democratic nominee for this year's presidential election. The book, which is available in Kindle and paperback formats on Amazon, chronicled Biden as he bounced back from ridiculous gaffes, humiliating scandals, political defeats, unimaginable personal tragedy and being read the last rites.
The President of Vice (Kindle Single) is a fun read if you are fond of political satire, especially those as hilarious as those from The Onion. Available in Kindle and Audiobook formats, this "scandalous memoir" sees "Diamond" Joe discussing his (fictional) early years prior to becoming a wingman to the leader of the free world (i.e. then-President Obama).
Biden Time: Crazy Uncle Joe in His Own Words shows the former veep at his "vapid worst." Currently available in Kindle format on Amazon, the book is a collection of Joe Biden's most memorably misfired or moronic quotes over the last 40 years, painting a picture of a man notoriously inconsistent with what he is saying.
