*THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* 'A classic coming-of-age story,
about the journey from idealism to realism, told with candor and
immediacy' NEW YORK TIMES This is a book about two people making
the most important decisions in the world. One is Barack Obama. The
other is Ben Rhodes. The World As It Is tells the full story of
what it means to work alongside a radical leader; of how idealism
can confront reality and survive; of how the White House really
functions; and of what it is to have a partnership, and ultimately
a friendship, with a historic president. A young writer and
Washington outsider, Ben Rhodes was plucked from obscurity aged 29.
Chosen for his original perspective and gift with language, his
role was to help shape the nation's hopes and sense of itself. For
nearly ten years, Rhodes was at the centre of the Obama
Administration - first as a speechwriter, then a policymaker, and
finally a multi-purpose aide and close collaborator. Rhodes puts us
in the room at the most tense and poignant moments in recent
history: starting every morning with Obama in the Daily Briefing;
waiting out the bin Laden raid in the Situation Room; reaching a
nuclear agreement with Iran; leading secret negotiations with the
Cuban government; confronting the resurgence of nationalism that
led to the election of Donald Trump. This is the most vivid
portrayal yet of Obama's presidency. It is an essential record of
the last decade. But it also shows us what it means to hold the
pen, and to write the words that change our world.
