For the first time, Joe Biden, the recently elected 46th president of the United States, frankly tells the story of his extraordinary life and career. With his inherent directness and wit, Joe Biden shares personal tragedies, pain and joy. Since childhood, he suffered from stuttering, but overcame the disease and at the age of 29 became one of the youngest senators in American history. He lost his wife and one-year-old daughter in a car accident, was on the verge of death due to an aneurysm in the brain, but managed to find the strength to live and fight on, becoming the 47th vice president of the United States. A new terrible tragedy befell the Biden family in 2015 - his eldest son Bo died of cancer. But this did not break the will of a very middle-aged man. After a grueling election race, he was elected the new president of the United States at the age of 78. About personal principles that made it possible to endure the blows of fate and go to their goal no matter what. About mistakes and failures. About acquired life experience. About relations with world leaders from Nixon to Obama, from Leonid Brezhnev to Vladimir Putin. About this and many other things, Joe Biden's book "Keep Promises."
