Pleased to offer a near fine, like new copy of the "first text edition" of: "Obama- The Call of History" by Peter Baker, Chief White House Correpondent for the New York Times. Quoting from the flap of the dust jacket: "This is the story of a young president, Baker writes, who arrived in office with immense faith in the power of his oratory to inspire and in the power of good sense to solve problems, only to discover the limits of both." Didn't we all! Please see the photo of the Table of Contents for your further information. There are no illustrations in the book, much to my surprise. Condition: This book is in near fine condition. I am unable to find any flaws, wear or blemishes. Well, perhaps a narrow band of sunned lower edge. It could still be a gift.

NEW EDITION WITH EXPANDED TEXT, WITH A FOREWORD BY JON MEACHAM: The original edition of Obama: The Call of History (2017) was the first full-fledged pictorial history of President Barack Obama's two terms in office to be published as he stepped down. This updated version expands the narrative account and adds new perspective from author Peter Baker, Chief White House Correspondent for The New York Times.
Obama was a master politician who loathed politics. To many, he was an enigma, often seen through the lens of the observer--a liberal zealot to the right, an overeager compromiser to the left. "I am a Rorschach test," he once noted. But he was the dominant figure of his age. After eight eventful years, he would never be the same--and neither would be his country.
