Book Description
The definitive account of Barack Obama’s life before he became the 44th president of the United States – from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Bearing the Cross.

Three months later, Obama would win election to the U.S. Senate; four years later he would make history as America’s first black president. Now, acclaimed biographer David J. Garrow delivers this epic work about BarackObama, creating a rich tapestry of a life perviously little understood.
