The book that revealed one of the greatest cover-ups in modern American history.

Joe Biden, his family and his senior aides were convinced that only he could beat Donald Trump in the 2024 Presidential Election. So convinced, in fact, that they lied to themselves, allies and the public about his condition and limitations – all but dooming the Democrats to defeat.

Here, two of America’s best-respected political journalists draw on astonishing access to Biden’s circle to uncover what really happened in 2024. Hailed as an instant classic of investigative journalism, Original Sin exposed the greatest campaign of denial and gaslighting in modern American history – leading directly to Donald Trump’s return to power, and all that has come since.
