| Summary, Etc. |
The Presidency of Joseph R. Biden provides an authoritative overview of how this one-term president fits within the broader historical forces shaping the United States in the twenty-first century. Julian Zelizer has assembled a cast of leading historians to provide insightful assessments of the era's major issues: the economy, education, foreign policy, labor relations, reproductive rights, climate policy, race, and the culture wars. These incisive essays trace the full arc of Joe Biden's presidency from its early successes to the setbacks that ultimately consumed it. His domestic legislative achievements were hailed by some as the most momentous of any American presidency since the Great Society while his foreign policy ably met the challenges posed by the nation's great power rivals. Yet by late 2024, Biden's legacy was in tatters, overshadowed by immigration, inflation, the war in Gaza, and the president's obvious physical decline. Clear and accessible, this book moves beyond journalistic coverage to provide the first comprehensive scholarly account of the Biden administration's achievements and eventual downfall.
