“On the surface, this book is about the big-money politics that shaped Joe Biden’s career. At its core, though, it tells the essential story of how the Democratic Party became a tool of the ruling class.”
—Krystal Ball, Hill.TV host
“A remarkably elegant and penetrating portrait of the entirety of Joe Biden’s career from a young writer to watch.”
—Rick Perlstein, author of Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America
“More than just the record of an unprincipled hack, Branko Marcetic’s political biography lays out in shocking detail just how much damage Joe Biden has inflicted on the majority of Americans, especially those who are poor and black, over the course of an unfortunately lengthy career.”
—Andrew Cockburn, DC editor of Harper’s
“This engaging and informative book makes a well-researched and fair-minded case against Joe Biden. Marcetic demonstrates convincingly that on questions of corporate greed, abortion rights, and school segregation—all starkly materialist issues—Biden has, throughout his career, been shockingly conservative.”
—Liza Featherstone, author of Divining Desire: Focus Groups and the Culture of Consultation
“Meticulous.”
—The National
