Barack Obama splashed onto the political scene with an
inspirational, rousing speech at the Democratic National Convention
in July 2004. From that night on, Obamamania was very real. He is
bold and audacious; his rhetoric fiery, convincing and very
compelling. He encourages cross-over appeal, discourse,
affiliation, and has drawn many Americans, including today's youth,
into politics. This is the story of a man of mixed race heritage
who inspires, listens, compromises, and is often bipartisan. With a
charismatic smile and a cadre of change we can believe in, many
believe that he embodies the American dream. Thousands have turned
out to hear the dynamic senator from Illinois speak as he campaigns
to become the next President of the United States. Barack Obama
says that his story could only take place in America, and this
revealing biography traces the events of his remarkable life thus
far. From his upbringing in humble circumstances in Hawaii and
Indonesia to becoming the fifth African American senator in U.S.
history, and later, a presidential candidate, this well-researched
volume highlights the hardships and successes, the people who most
influenced his career, his personal life, and his meteoric rise to
pop icon status. Rounded out with photos, a timeline, a
bibliography, and an index, this volume is a must-read for high
school and undergraduate students of current events and political
science.
