Inhaltsangabe:

A deep dive into Joe Biden&;s history and the origins of his political values

Yesterday&;s Man exposes the forgotten history of Joe Biden, one of the United States&;s longest-serving politicians, and one of its least scrutinized.

Over nearly fifty years in politics, the man called &;Middle-Class Joe&; served as a key architect of the Democratic Party&;s rightward turn, ushering in the end of the liberal New Deal order and enabling the political takeover of the radical right.

Far from being a liberal stalwart, Biden often outdid even Reagan, Gingrich, and Bush, assisting the right-wing war against the working class, and ultimately paving the way for Trump.

The most comprehensive political biography of someone who has tried for decades to be president, Yesterday&;s Man is an essential read for anyone interested in knowing the real Joe Biden and what he might do in office.
