Barack Obama: The Story

byDavid Maraniss

The groundbreaking multigenerational biography, a richly textured account of President Obama and the forces that shaped him and sustain him, from Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter, political commentator, and acclaimed biographer David Maraniss. Using biographical detail, personal testimony, and historical context, Barack Obama moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing Barack Obama within biography & autobiography and history, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment.
