A New Compact for Iraq (ePub)

Joe Biden, the 46th President of the United States, has had a distinguished career in public service that spans several decades, culminating in his election to the presidency in 2020. Before his presidency, Biden served as Vice President under President Barack Obama from 2009 to 2017. However, his contributions to literature and policy are distinct from his more well-known public roles. In his book 'A New Compact for Iraq' (2006), Biden presents his foreign policy expertise and understanding of international relations with a focus on the challenges and potential strategies for stability in Iraq. This work reflects his commitment to finding diplomatic solutions and his belief in the importance of international collaboration. Biden's authorial voice is informed by his experience in the U.S. Senate, where he served from 1973 to 2009 and was a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, eventually becoming its chairman. His literary style in policy discussions is both pragmatic and nuanced, indicative of his long tenure in government and his role in shaping foreign policy. While most recognized for his political accomplishments, Biden's contributions to written discourse on international affairs provide a window into the intellectual rigor and dedication he has brought to his life's work in public service.
