Barack Obama, the new face of American politics
Barack Obama, the new face of American politics
by Martin Dupuis and Keith Boeckelman
The authors chart the rise of Barack Obama, the senator with aspirations to the toughest job in the world, but stop short of his historic victory. As a curtain-raiser to the prospective president, this is a valuable book, written in an engagingly lucid style and filled with fascinating insights into voting patters, fundraising, race relations, the role of the media in US politics and the arrival of a completely inexperienced face in the White House.
