Sobre este artículo
The rise of power by former President Barack Obama, a fascinating insight into his political life.
Not an easy book to find in fine condition, this example falls into that category. Edges of DJ shows a little wear on corners, and slight age tanning on page edges. It is unclipped, binding is fine. It is clean, no marks throughout.
A 1st/1st edition, full print numbers 10-1, but also printed 1st Edition. Published in New York, part of the Harper Collins publishers in 2007. Page count, 406.
Did you know? Barack described his extended family, "like a little mini United Nations, I've got relatives who look like Bernie Mac, and relatives that look like Margaret Thatcher."
Please note. We do not use stock images, the book you see is the book we send you. Guaranteed.
Sinopsis
The biography of America's hottest political superstar—Barack Obama—from a journalist who has been covering Obama and his career since his successful run for U.S. SenateBarack Obama's meteoric rise from Hawaii high schooler to exemplary Harvard Law School student to well-groomed politico is the stuff of legend, a political story that has captured the attention of virtually every American. Since his headline-grabbing speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2004, Obama has come to represent the promise of unity among groups of all types—blacks and whites; Democrats, Republicans, and moderates; the young and the old; the upper, middle, and lower classes. In this first-of-a-kind, groundbreaking biography, veteran journalist and Obama chronicler David Mendell gives an in-depth, comprehensive portrait of the boy named Barry who took inspiration from his hardworking parents and became the eloquent, suave Obama—a man whose last name has become a catchphrase for hope in a politically jaded society desperate for a new star.Mendell has covered Obama since the beginning of Obama's campaign for the Senate and as a result enjoys far-reaching access to the new senator. His research includes exclusive interviews with Obama's closest aides, mentors, political adversaries, and family—most notably his extremely charismatic wife, Michelle. Mendell reveals the surprising, cutthroat campaign tactics sanctioned by Obama—who has steeped his image and reputation with the ideals of clean politics and good government—to win his Senate seat by employing some of the most ruthless operatives in the business.Eye-opening, well researched, and compulsively readable, Obama: From Promise to Power is a necessary look at the evolution of a politician from public servant to candidate-savior—a politician who has experienced fame, adulation, and criticism in equal parts and on a greater scale than the public eye has seen in quite some time.
