In return, Biden constantly pressured Clinton, a fellow party president, and ultimately forced the United States to intervene militarily in the Kosovo civil war.\u003cbr\u003e President Bush also called in Biden, a member of the opposition party, and asked him frankly for advice on his European tour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e On the other hand, there are also scenes that show the deepening political division in the United States and the one-sidedness of the administration.\u003cbr\u003e Biden points out that the administration's unilateralism, which began in the latter half of the Bush administration, led to the disastrous failure in Iraq, and warns against the president's abuse of power, emphasizing the importance of cooperation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWill America move with the world?\u003cbr\u003e Biden's Vision for the Presidency and His Promise for a Better World\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“Biden is, above all, the empathetic leader that today’s chaotic new normal era truly needs.\u003cbr\u003e If politics is a mechanism for reconciling conflicting claims, Biden is the perfect candidate.” _Kim Jun-hyung, President of the Korea National Diplomatic Academy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Depending on who is elected as the President of the United States, Korea will be directly affected in all aspects, including politics, economy, society, and diplomacy.\u003cbr\u003e Among these, what policy the United States will adopt in foreign policy, especially in relations with North Korea, is the issue we are most curious about.\u003cbr\u003e This book features various episodes that provide a glimpse into Biden's fundamental principles and attitudes toward diplomacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Why is your friend Kim Dae-jung so angry?” President Bush leaned down and patted my knee, reenacting a scene he had had with the South Korean president in the Oval Office a few months earlier. \u003cbr\u003e“All I told him was that I couldn’t trust that little communist (North Korean leader Kim Jong-il) over there.” (…) You clearly told him without mercy.\u003cbr\u003e 'Well, this Sunshine Policy is a failure.\u003cbr\u003e We're out.' Mr. President, you've clearly put him in an awkward position.\u003cbr\u003e Because of that, he got into trouble in Korea.\u003cbr\u003e I think that's why he was upset.\" (from the text)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Biden's conversation with President Bush about former President Kim Dae-jung will be of great interest to Korean readers.\u003cbr\u003e Despite President Bush's sudden question about his hard-line approach toward North Korea, Biden remained unfazed and objectively conveyed South Korea's position.\u003cbr\u003e Biden, a foreign policy expert who has twice served as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, emphasizes the importance of field presence and direct encounters with leaders. \u003cbr\u003eSo, while advocating for airstrikes against Serbia, Biden visited Serbia in person to meet with Milosevic and made several risky visits to Iraq.\u003cbr\u003e Biden emphasizes the role of the president as a prepared president, talking about what the president must prepare for.\u003cbr\u003e Biden says the president gets a lot of information about the issue from his staff, but ultimately, the final choice and decision is his.\u003cbr\u003e And the responsibility for that also lies with the President.\u003cbr\u003e Having witnessed the successes and failures of seven presidents, Biden maintains his own firm view of the presidency and vision, without relying on his staff.\u003cbr\u003e In this book, Biden clearly articulates his vision for the America he dreams of.\u003cbr\u003e What Biden consistently says is that the United States must fulfill its responsibilities and role in the world befitting the world's most powerful nation. \u003cbr\u003eHe criticizes the increasingly deepening America First policy and asserts that it is not the job of the United States, now a world power, to only pursue its own interests.\u003cbr\u003e Biden says the U.S. government should serve as a springboard for more Americans.\u003cbr\u003e He expressed his ambition that citizens should have access to health and equal opportunities, and that the future of children should be protected.\u003cbr\u003e This is also the reason why he is taking on his final challenge again at the advanced age of 78.\u003cbr\u003e Biden still has promises to keep, for a better world and a future for our children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eJoe Biden's turbulent life story: \"Resilience\"—a first for Joe Biden.\u003cbr\u003e The story of tragedy and overcoming that shaped

leadership he possesses as much as it does now.” —Amazon Book Review\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eJust as Joe Biden the politician, the dramatic roller coaster-like life story of Joe Biden the human being is also attracting attention.\u003cbr\u003e This is because it clearly shows how the life trajectory of success and frustration, tragedy and overcoming that permeated Biden as a person influenced him as a politician and shaped his beliefs, humanity, and philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e America is full of political powerhouses who possess both wealth and power.\u003cbr\u003e In contrast, Biden, who came from a \"dirt spoon\" family with no relatives who had gone to college, had to face society literally bare-handed.\u003cbr\u003e He was the first in his family to go to college, quit a successful law firm to become a public defender, and entered politics as a county council member.\u003cbr\u003e Biden has worked his way up from the bottom, working on his own, but at the same time, following his own beliefs and principles.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe first event that changed his life was the 1972 Senate election.\u003cbr\u003e When Republican Senator Caleb Boggs, who had not lost a race in Delaware in over 20 years, announced that he would run for Senate again instead of retiring, no Democrats wanted to run against him.\u003cbr\u003e Then, Joe Biden, then 29 years old, boldly threw down the gauntlet.\u003cbr\u003e Although he was no match for Biden in terms of career, fame, or financial resources, he campaigned by going door-to-door to a tea party and drinking ten cups of coffee a day, using a \"coffee time\" strategy, and mobilizing his entire family to meet voters one-on-one.\u003cbr\u003e And the results of the vote count show that he achieved a miraculous victory by a margin of 1%.\u003cbr\u003e But just a month after his miraculous victory, a tragic accident befell Biden. \u003cbr\u003eBiden's wife, Neilia, and their newborn daughter, who had supported him and been his greatest strength throughout his hopeless election run after graduating from law school and choosing politics over money, passed away in a car accident.\u003cbr\u003e Even in despair, to the point of considering extreme measures, Biden began his Senate career by traveling between the hospital and Washington, caring for his two seriously injured sons.\u003cbr\u003e Just like the life lesson his father passed down to him, he didn't just collapse and give up, but he gradually picked himself up from his broken body, rebuilt his family, and grew into a respectable senator.\u003cbr\u003e In 1988, with sufficient experience and confidence, Biden declared his candidacy for president, but was forced to withdraw from the Democratic presidential primary due to a plagiarism controversy in a speech.
