Former president’s new book Promise Me America provides an inside look at January 6, Covid-19 response and more

Joe Biden will undertake only limited promotion of his upcoming White House memoir because of advancing cancer, the former president said in a social media post on Sunday night.

His new book, Promise Me America, which will be published on 17 November, is Biden’s account of a one-term presidency that began in 2021 in the shadow of the insurrection at the US Capitol on 6 January 2021 by supporters of Donald Trump eager to overturn the outgoing Republican president’s defeat by his Democratic rival in the 2020 election.
