"…Remnick examines in detail every aspect of Obama's life before his election as president…There is only a brief (five and a half pages) epilogue on the presidency…Yet the book's insights into Obama's character will be very useful for understanding the man's performance as president."
The rise of Barack Obama is one of the great stories of this century: a defining moment in American history, and one with truly global resonance. Until now, no journalist or historian has written a book that fully investigates the circumstances and experiences of Obama’s life or explores the ambition and conviction behind his journey to election. The Bridge – from a writer whose gift for illuminating the historical significance of unfolding events is unsurpassed – offers a portrait, at once masterly and fresh, nuanced and unexpected, of the man who was determined to become the first African-American president.
