The international bestselling memoir about the year that would forever change both a family and a country.
A deeply moving memoir about the year that would forever change both a family and a country
'Promise Me, Dad is Joe Biden's poignant account of the most challenging year of his vice-presidency and the second most difficult year of his life. More than anything else, the book is a reminder of the importance of politics: how much elections can change the trajectory of a country, and how different America has become one year after Donald Trump was elected president.' Guardian
'Poignant, instructive and deeply affecting.' Irish Independent
'A backstage drama, honest, raw and rich in detail. People who have lost someone will genuinely take comfort from what he has to say . . . These flashes of vulnerability are part of what makes Promise Me, Dad memorable; so, too, are the small, tender interactions between Biden and his dying son.' New York Times
'Biden splices a heartbreaking story with an election story and a foreign affairs story. And in so doing, he offers something for everyone, no matter which strand draws you in.' New York Times Book Review
