No Customer Reviews
The New York Times bestseller, now with a new epilogue "You might love Biden or you might hate Biden, but either way, if you want to understand him, you will want to buy this book." --Politico "A triumph of reporting." -- Geoff Bennett, PBS NewsHour "Deeply reported . . . a terrific read." --Chuck Todd, Meet the Press "Fantastic . . . The first real insider account of the Biden White House and a fascinating read about Biden himself." --Jon Favreau, Pod Save America
On January 20, 2021, standing where only two weeks earlier police officers had battled with right-wing paramilitaries, Joe Biden took his oath of office. The American people were still sick with COVID-19, his economists were already warning him of an imminent financial crisis, and his party, the Democrats, had the barest of majorities in the Senate. Yet, faced with an unprecedented set of crises, Joe Biden decided he would not play defense. Instead, he set out to transform the nation. With unparalleled access to the tight inner circle of advisers who have surrounded Biden for decades, Franklin Foer dramatizes in forensic detail the first two years of the Biden presidency, concluding with the historic midterm elections. The result is a gripping and high-definition portrait of a major president at a time when democracy itself seems imperiled. Now with a new epilogue by the author, The Last Politician is a landmark work of political reporting--which includes thrilling, blow-by-blow insider reports of the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan and the White House's swift response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine--that is destined to shape history's view of a president in the eye of the storm.
