This 2007 book published by Random House in 2007, is not only a personal biography, but also a chronicle of political events during Joe Biden is a senator for life before he became vice-president of the United States.
Joe Biden was a strong Irish Catholic family where he was born very important family. He also formed ties with colleagues and mentors who influenced him throughout his life.
However, Mr Biden faced much tragedy. His first wife and infant daughter wereKilled in a road accident on the road to buy a Christmas tree. His two sons, who were also in the car at the time, were seriously injured in hospital. That left him as a single parent who was a career change when he had just been elected to the U.S. Senate. The funeral took him to the conclusion that he should give up the position with his children, but fortunately, friends and family encouraged him to be sworn in as senator.
Senator Biden made aCommitment to be always available for her children and moved even though his sister and her husband at home, help him with his child, he drove the train back and forth from his home in Washington every day to fulfill this obligation .
He was reluctant to date again, but found over the years and married his second wife, the strong support for the boys and gave him. After their marriage was born a daughter to their family completely.
Senator Biden was not immune to physicalProblems. As a young man had two brain aneurysms, for which he suffered a brain operation. This has led the growth and maturity of a man who used to be independent and pushed himself was.
"Promises to keep" not only chronicles the personal life of Mr. Biden, but also his career. But sometimes the writing is so detailed that if you are reading an American history buff or good in world affairs, you may be bored or overwhelmed. For example, the description of the process, in whichJustice Bork was rejected in his nomination for the Supreme Court was extremely complex.
The only other criticism I have is about the writing style, which sometimes seems to believe that the role of the reader or the history of various organizations who understands to be mentioned. They, too, for abbreviations used are equipped with an ease that could not be met with understanding can be used.
I liked this book, especially when it comes to personal aspects that describe howJoe Biden in a difficult situation, always with the support of his faith, family and friends. His honesty is admirable. I wish the style was simple and clear in this part of the book through other parties, which have been blurred by unknown geographic locations, has led the complexity of legislation and political struggles that may not be familiar to the reader.
