โฆ Synopsis
A vibrant celebration of President Obama in words and photographs, now updated with new material on the years since he left office.
Through stunning images by White House photographers and others, as well as notable essays and quotes from a broad spectrum of people, this updated edition of Obama looks back at the president's journey--from his remarkable victory to his significant milestones and final days in office to his life after the White House.
Obama features rare and previously unseen photographs, along with iconic images and newspaper front pages. It also includes dramatic pictures--including the famous shot from the Situation Room as the president and his staff watched the live unfolding of the Osama bin Laden raid, and day-to-day images of Obama in his roles as world leader, policymaker, commander in chief, and father. There are lighthearted photos from the White House Correspondents' Dinner, late-night television appearances, and moments with the entire Obama family.
Sixteen additional pages follow President Obama in recent years campaigning for Democratic candidates, engaging in philanthropic work, and traveling the world. The expanded volume also updates the status of many of Obama's groundbreaking achievements, such as the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare), the Iran nuclear deal, the Paris climate accord, EPA protections, transgender rights, DACA, and much more.
