This book captures the core of who Joe Biden is as a lifelong public servant, and who he would be as America' s next President--featuring photographs from his eight years as one of America' s most consequential vice presidents and partner to Barack Obama. These visually arresting photographs and behind-the-scenes stories show Biden stepping into his own as a leader ready to guide a nation in distress. They also reveal a new dimension to Biden' s humanity--as a man whose decency and kindness shines through both tragedy and triumph, whose working-class roots inform his values, and whose candor and approachability enable him to connect with citizens of all kinds. This book traces Biden' s vice presidency in unprecedented detail, shedding light on who he is as a political leader and patriot, and also as a father, husband, and friend. It will delight and fascinate readers who yearn for the return of honesty and ethics to the nation' s highest offices. As we draw closer to the 2020 presidential elections, this portrait of one of the most influential names in American politics is more timely and important than ever.
A generous photo tribute to the former vice president and current Democratic candidate for president. . . The vast majority of the photos are skillful, and some of the shots are especially memorable: Biden with SEAL trainees, interacting with troops in Baghdad, signing a soldier' s flag, golfing with Obama at Joint Base Andrews, visiting Dachau with a Holocaust survivor, mourning the death of his son Beau, and speaking with the staff of Orlando' s Pulse nightclub after the 2016 mass shooting. . . As America faces the Trump-Biden election in November, Lienemann leaves us wondering--as we enjoy his terrific photos--what might have happened if Biden was the Democratic candidate in 2016. --Kirkus Reviews
