Barack Obama's "improbable quest" has become a fact of American
life and a benchmark in American history. Striving now toward "a
more perfect union," Obama and the nation confront obstacles
unforeseen at the outset of the 2008 electoral campaign. John K.
Wilson tracks the sweep of this progress from the beginning of
Obama's political career through his move into the White House.
With his critical journalistic eye and his sympathetic "native son"
perspective, Wilson shows us a side of Obama we haven't seen as
well as a view of the media we need to understand-even more now as
the Obama administration begins to govern. The paperback edition of
this popular book includes a new introduction, updates throughout,
and two new chapters on the electoral victory and the transition
from campaigning into governing. New photos and new insights
include a focus on the continued importance of race in American
politics.
