For decades Americans have turned to
LIFE to see, understand, and remember the most important
events and people of our time. Just as LIFE once opened up
the glittering Kennedy White House, LIFE now focuses its
lens on Barack Obama. The American Journey of Barack
Obama covers the candidate from his childhood and
adolescence to his time as editor of The Harvard Law
Review and his Chicago activist years, culminating with
the excitement and fervor of the historic 2008 Democratic
National Convention. The unfolding drama of Obama's life and
political career is cinematic in scope, and never has it
been presented so compellingly. In addition to a powerful
array of photographs that were taken by many of the
country's greatest photographers (and some that were
snapped, in the quiet moments, by Obama family members
themselves), this book also includes a Foreword by Senator
Edward M. Kennedy, an incisive narrative biography and
original essays by some of our finest writers, including Gay
Talese, Charles Johnson, Melissa Fay Greene, Andrei
Codrescu, Fay Weldon, Richard Norton Smith, Bob Greene and
several others. Many readers will find a new understanding
of Obama. All readers will feel that they are bearing
witness to a singular, undeniably American
story.
