President Joe Biden tells the story of his extraordinary life and career prior to his emergence as Barack Obama’s beloved, influential vice president.‘I remain captivated by the possibilities of politics and public service. In fact, I believe that my chosen profession is a noble calling.’ – Joe BidenJoe Biden has both witnessed and participated in a momentous epoch of American history. In Promises to Keep, he reveals what these experiences taught him about himself, his colleagues, and the institutions of government.With his customary honesty and wit, Biden movingly and eloquently recounts growing up in a staunchly Catholic multigenerational household in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Wilmington, Delaware; overcoming personal tragedy, life-threatening illness, and career setbacks; his relationships with presidents, world leaders, and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle; and his leadership of powerful Senate committees.Through these and other recollections, Biden shows us how the guiding principles he learned early in life — to work to make people’s lives better; to honour family and faith; to value persistence, candour, and honesty — are the foundation on which he has based his life’s work as husband, father, and public servant.Promises to Keep is an intimate series of reflections from a politician who surmounted numerous challenges to become one of America’s most effective leaders and who refuses to be cynical about politics. It is also a stirring testament to the promise of the United States.

“Nearly forty years after I first got involved, I remain captivated by the possibilities of politics and public service. In fact, I believe that my chosen profession is a noble calling. That’s why I wanted to be a part of it.”–Joe BidenAs a United States senator from Delaware since 1973, Joe Biden has been an intimate witness to the major events of the past four decades and a relentless actor in trying to shape recent American history. He has seen up close the tragic mistake of the Vietnam War, the Watergate and Iran-contra scandals, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the reunification of Germany, the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, a presidential impeachment, a presidential resignation, and a presidential election decided by the Supreme Court. He’s observed Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Clinton, and two Bushes wrestling with the presidency; he’s traveled to war zones in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa and seen firsthand the devastation of genocide. He played a vital role by standing up to Ronald Reagan’s effort to seat Judge Robert Bork on the Supreme Court, fighting for legislation that protects women against domestic violence, and galvanizing America’s response (and the world’s) to Slobodan Milosevic’s genocidal march in the Balkans. In Promises to Keep, Biden reveals what these experiences taught him about himself, his colleagues, and the institutions of government.With his customary candor, Biden movingly recounts growing up in a staunchly Catholic multigenerational household in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Wilmington, Delaware; overcoming a demoralizing stutter; marriage, fatherhood, and the tragic death of his wife Neilia and infant daughter Naomi; remarriage and re-forming a family with his second wife, Jill; success and failure in the Senate and on the campaign trail; two life-threatening aneurysms; his relations with fellow lawmakers on both sides of the aisle; and his leadership of powerful Senate committees.Through these and other recollections, Biden shows us how the guiding principles he learned early in life–the obligation to work to make people’s lives better, to honor family and faith, to get up and do the right thing no matter how hard you’ve been knocked down, to be honest and straightforward, and, above all, to keep your promises–are the foundations on which he has based his life’s work as husband, father, and public servant. Promises to Keep is the story of a man who faced down personal challenges and tragedy to become one of our most effective leaders. It is also an intimate series of reflections from a public servant who refuses to be cynical about political leadership, and a testament to the promise of the United States.From the Hardcover edition.

I boken följer vi familjen Biden under ett kritiskt år i deras liv. Det är slutet av Barack Obamas tid vid makten, runt om i världen pågår konflikter i bland annat Irak och Ukraina, och familjen Biden drabbas av en personlig katastrof då sonen Beau får besked att han har en hjärntumör – och kämpar för sitt liv.Löften till en son skildrar både det lilla och det stora livet, Boken är en unik inblick i amerikansk politik och ett intimt porträtt av USA:s blicande president.

I november 2014 samlas familjen Biden på Nantucket för Thanksgiving. Det är en tradition sedan fyrtio år och en fast punkt i tillvaron för en ständigt påpassad familj. Men det här året är allt annorlunda. Joe och Jill Bidens äldste son, Beau, har diagnostiserats med en elakartad hjärntumör.

Löften till en son skildrar året som följer, det mest betydelsefulla och utmanande i Joe Bidens liv och karriär. Som vicepresident reser Joe Biden över hela världen och hanterar kriser i Ukraina, Centralamerika och Irak. Samtidigt som Beau kämpar för, och sedan förlorar sitt liv.

Joe Biden berättar personligt och nära om en familj i skuggan av makten, boken är också en unik skildring inifrån Vita huset under Barack Obamas sista tid som president.

”Denna bok är ett drama bakom kulisserna, ärligt, osminkat och rikt på detaljer. Den som förlorat någon närstående kommer att finna genuin tröst i vad [Biden] har att säga.”The New York Times

”En gripande memoar om personliga tragedier och politiska triumfer.” Kirkus Reviews

”Promise me, Dad är Joe Bidens genomträngande, lärorika och djupt gripande redogörelse för en familjs kamp mot elakartad hjärncancer, allt mot bakgrund av vad arbetet som vicepresident krävde av honom och frestelsen att än en gång ställa upp som presidentkandidat. Det är också en rörande berättelse om cancerns grymma verklighet, särskilt när den drabbar ens barn.”The Washington Post

Den äkta amerikanen.”HuffPost
