In this nuanced and complex portrait of Barack Obama, Pulitzer
Prize-winner David Remnick offers a thorough, intricate, and
riveting account of the unique experiences that shaped our nation's
first African American president.
Through extensive on-the-record interviews with friends and
teachers, mentors and disparagers, family members and Obama
himself, Remnick explores the elite institutions that first exposed
Obama to social tensions, and the intellectual currents that
contributed to his identity. Using America's racial history as a
backdrop for Obama's own story, Remnick further reveals how an
initially rootless and confused young man built on the experiences
of an earlier generation of black leaders to become one of the
central figures of our time.
Masterfully written and eminently readable, "The Bridge" is
destined to be a lasting and illuminating work for years to come,
by a writer with an unparalleled gift for revealing the historical
significance of our present moment.
