This is the remarkable story of Barack Obama’s journey to
the White House, as told by the greatest cultural recorders
in the world, the staff of The New York Times. From the
first mention of Barack Obama in its pages (when he was
elected president of the Harvard Law Review), to his
electrifying speech at the 2004 Democratic Convention, to
the days and months of the hardfought, innovative campaign
for Presidency, The New York Times has documented, recorded,
and analyzed Obama in all the ways that he has irrevocably
changed this country. In twelve rich chapters, filled with
award-winning photos and graphics, as well as text from
Nobel Prize and Pulitzer–winning columnists like Paul
Krugman and Thomas Friedman, and seasoned political
reporters like Adam Nagourney, The New York Times tells
Obama’s unlikely and incredible journey from the beginning
all the way to his inauguration as President of the United
States.
Jill Abramson, the managing editor of the Times will provide
biographical text and Bill Keller, the executive editor,
will pen the introduction. Throughout, there will be
profiles of important figures in Obama’s life and the
campaign— Valerie Jarrett, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, his
parents and grandparents, and Michelle Obama. Obama’s own
writing, from his memoirs and speeches across the country,
will be included, along with what will surely be an iconic,
groundbreaking speech—his Inauguration Day speech. This book
will be a treasured cultural document and the pinnacle of
election coverage.
This is the best of the best showcasing the most
extraordinary political event of recent times.
