Product Information
From the author of First in His Class , the definitive biography of Bill Clinton, this New York Times bestseller was hailed by critics as a groundbreaking multigenerational biography, a richly textured account of President Obama and the forces that shaped him and sustain 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.

Reviews
"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, Barack Obama is biography at its best. A prodigiously researched and exquisitely written multigenerational account.... With subtlety and sophistication, Maraniss captures and conveys Obama's sensibilities and sensitivities., Barack Obama is a work of monumental ambition. ...Maraniss' exhaustive research and lucid writing expands exponentially our knowledge of the president's history., "'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, "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, "Maraniss offers not just a beautifully written book, but a real insight into what goes on behind the veil." - The Hill, "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, "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, Barack Obama is biography at its best. A prodigiously researched and exquisitely written multigenerational account…. With subtlety and sophistication, Maraniss captures and conveys Obama's sensibilities and sensitivities., "This is a highly textured and intimate look at the family stories behind Obama …A thoroughly fascinating, multigenerational biography that explores broader social and political changes even as it highlights the elements that shaped one man's life."- Booklist , starred review, 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, "…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, 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., Barack Obama is a work of monumental ambition. …Maraniss' exhaustive research and lucid writing expands exponentially our knowledge of the president's history., This is a revelatory book . . . which will certainly shape our understanding of President Obama's strengths, weaknesses and inscrutabilities.

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, "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., "This biography possesses a richness and scope that cannot be captured in short-form journalism, magazine excerpts or a mere review. Maraniss has written a global, multigenerational saga that culminates in the emergence of a young man who is knowable, recognizable and real....Maraniss approaches the task with deep research, crisp, clean writing and judicious reflection that never seems intrusive. He not only succeeds, he makes it look easy." - The Washington Post, 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
