Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose by Joe Biden
4.0
Joe Biden has a way of coming off as both a self-serving career politician and a good and decent person. To a certain degree, this book strikes that same dual tone. I found the parts of the book about his family to be much more compelling than the parts about politics; however, even the sections that were about his work as Vice President seemed more genuine than the typical book written by a politician.
One especially poignant story begins early in the book when he describes meeting with the family of a fallen NYPD officer, and finishes later in the book when he reveals that this same family came to Beau's public wake.
It is hard to say what would have happened if Biden had decided to run for President, except that had he won, the country and indeed the world would be in much kinder and more stable hands.
