Product Information
From the author of First In His Class , the definitive biography of Bill Clinton, and When Pride Still Mattered , the bestselling biography of Vince Lombardi, and They Marched Into Sunlight, the classic saga of the Vietnam era--a stunning new multigenerational biography of Barack Obama. From one of our preeminent journalists and modern historians comes the epic story of Barack Obama and the world that created him. In Barack Obama: The Story, David Maraniss has written a deeply reported generational biography teeming with fresh insights and revealing information, a masterly narrative drawn from hundreds of interviews, including with President Obama in the Oval Office, and a trove of letters, journals, diaries, and other documents. The book unfolds in the small towns of Kansas and the remote villages of western Kenya, following the personal struggles of Obama's white and black ancestors through the swirl of the twentieth century. It is a roots story on a global scale, a saga of constant movement, frustration and accomplishment, strong women and weak men, hopes lost and deferred, people leaving and being left. Disparate family threads converge in the climactic chapters as Obama reaches adulthood and travels from Honolulu to Los Angeles to New York to Chicago, trying to make sense of his past, establish his own identity, and prepare for his political future. Barack Obama: The Story chronicles as never before the forces that shaped the first black president of the United States and explains why he thinks and acts as he does. Much like the author's classic study of Bill Clinton, First in His Class, this promises to become a seminal book that will redefine a president.

"'Barack Obama' is a biography at its best. A prodigiously researched and exquisitely written multigenerational account....Almost without exception, Maraniss' assessments are judicious and persuasive....With subtlety and sophistication, Maraniss captures and conveys Obama's sensibilities and sensitivities."-- San Francisco Chronicle, "'Barack Obama' is a biography at its best. A prodigiously researched and exquisitely written multigenerational account….Almost without exception, Maraniss' assessments are judicious and persuasive….With subtlety and sophistication, Maraniss captures and conveys Obama's sensibilities and sensitivities."- San Francisco Chronicle, "Another in the author's line of authoritative biographies...Maraniss' portrayal...is masterful and moving."-- Kirkus Reviews, "Another in the author's line of authoritative biographies...Maraniss' portrayal...is masterful and moving."- Kirkus Reviews, "By showing us the young Barack Obama--breathing, moving across the world, traversing the bloodknot of race in America alongside family, relationships, and the hurly-burly of Chicago--David Maraniss has shown us a human soul growing almost inch by inch. This is a work of literature, and it possesses the kind of brilliance and verve that would have made James Baldwin himself proud." -- Wil Haygood, author of King of the Cats: The Life and Times of Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., "Maraniss delivers....The power of Maraniss's reporting becomes apparent in his treatment of the future President's 'dark years'.... Maraniss captures Obama's search for purpose and the kindling of his ambition with an intimacy unlike that of other biographers-including Obama....[The book] offers the rawest account of his early life and a deeper understanding of his origins. Three and a half years and countless publications after Obama's Inauguration, that is a remarkable feat." - TIME, "...this is a revelatory book, which anyone interested in modern politics will want to read, and which will certainly shape our understanding of President Obama's strengths, weaknesses and inscrutabilities. Every few pages Maraniss offers a factual nugget that changes or enlarges the prevailing lore....a richer view of the man we have become familiar with, without really knowing.... after this book we know one public figure much better." - The New York Times Book Review, "Maraniss delivers....The power of Maraniss's reporting becomes apparent in his treatment of the future President's 'dark years'....

Every few pages Maraniss offers a factual nugget that changes or enlarges the prevailing lore., There's far more to this revealing and deeply reported coming-of-age story, a term usually applied to novels….[It] reads like a novel filled with stories too unlikely for fiction . . . which makes it the best kind of political biography., "Maraniss delivers....The power of Maraniss's reporting becomes apparent in his treatment of the future President's 'dark years'.... Maraniss captures Obama's search for purpose and the kindling of his ambition with an intimacy unlike that of other biographers--including Obama....[The book] offers the rawest account of his early life and a deeper understanding of his origins.

Three and a half years and countless publications after Obama's Inauguration, that is a remarkable feat., Impeccably researched…. Stunning in its detail… Maraniss… gets out of the way and lets his first-rate reporting tell the story. . . . It is like watching a magician at work, "Book is full of riveting stories, shrewd observations, and fascinating details. It's like reading Michener....There is something quite searching and wonderful about seeing much of history as a chaos of chance." -- The New Yorker, "The books of David Maraniss are like majestic rivers rolling to the sea, gathering in all the other confluences as they go, gaining their incredible subsurface force. But here, in a multigenerational portrait of a young man owning the most improbable history, Maraniss has outdone himself. Finally, you can understand the man who became the 44th president." - Paul Hendrickson, author of Hemingway's Boat: Everything He Loved, and Lost, 1934-1961, "It's not often that a book has the potential to change the course of political history, which is why this one is probably the most eagerly anticipated American book of the year." -- NPR.org, "'Barack Obama' is a biography at its best.
