From the author of "First in His Class," the definitive biography
of Bill Clinton, this "New York Times" bestseller was hailed by
critics as a groundbreaking multigenerational biography, a richly
textured account of President Obama and the forces that shaped him
and sustain him.
In "Barack Obama: The Story," David Maraniss has written a deeply
reported generational biography teeming with fresh insights and
revealing information, a masterly narrative drawn from hundreds of
interviews, including with President Obama in the Oval Office, and
a trove of letters, journals, diaries, and other documents.
The book unfolds in the small towns of Kansas and the remote
villages of western Kenya, following the personal struggles of
Obama's white and black ancestors through the swirl of the
twentieth century. It is a roots story on a global scale, a saga of
constant movement, frustration and accomplishment, strong women and
weak men, hopes lost and deferred, people leaving and being left.
Disparate family threads converge in the climactic chapters as
Obama reaches adulthood and travels from Honolulu to Los Angeles to
New York to Chicago, trying to make sense of his past, establish
his own identity, and prepare for his political future.
"Barack Obama: The Story" chronicles as never before the forces
that shaped the first black president of the United States and
explains why he thinks and acts as he does. Much like the author's
classic study of Bill Clinton, "First in His Class," this promises
to become a seminal book that will redefine a president.
