Veteran Washington reporter Jules Witcover's well-researched biography of Vice President Joseph Biden emphasizes the dramatic personal and professional tragedies he has experienced and the challenges he has met in a life fully lived. Jason Culp's narration is warm and straightforward. He uses almost offhanded vocal characterizations for the more famous public figures who are quoted. Listeners should enjoy Culp's engaging presentation of such iconic events as the Supreme Court confirmation hearings of Robert Bork and Judge Clarence Thomas. Despite minor reservations--the book seems biased in favor of Democrats--this is an educational and enlightening listen. W.A.G. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
