About This Item

Crown (2020), 2020. Hardcover. Collectible - Fine/Fine. Royal octavo, hardcover, fine in fine black and white pictorial dj. First Edition. First Printing Clean and unmarked. 751 pp. including index. The book opens by sketching Obama's early life and political career before detailing in exhaustive rigor his time on the national political stage, beginning with his 2004 Senate campaign. It leaves off in May 2011, with Osama bin Laden dead and Donald Trump all over cable news, ranting about a birth certificate. The first book of his planned two-volume memoir.

Synopsis

Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4, 2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming the first African American to hold the nation’s highest office. Reflecting on the presidency, he offers a unique and thoughtful exploration of both the awesome reach and the limits of presidential power, as well as singular insights into the dynamics of U.S. partisan politics and international diplomacy. Obama brings readers inside the Oval Office and the White House Situation Room, and to Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, and points beyond. We are privy to his thoughts as he assembles his cabinet, wrestles with a global financial crisis, takes the measure of Vladimir Putin, overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds to secure passage of the Affordable Care Act, clashes with generals about U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, tackles Wall Street reform, responds to the devastating Deepwater Horizon blowout, and authorizes Operation Neptune’s Spear, which leads to the death of Osama bin Laden.
