‘Phenomenal … one of the most impressive and important books of the year. It’s a masterwork of historical and journalistic research, Robert Caro-like in its exhaustiveness, and easily the most authoritative account of Obama’s pre-presidential life we’ve seen or are likely ever to see. It’s also a terrific read’ Politico 'Revealing … Probing … [Garrow] tells us how Obama lived, and explores the calculations he made in the decades leading up to his winning the presidency' Washington Post 'The authoritative biography of Barack Obama’s pre-presidential years … Illuminating … Impressively researched … Readers will be richly rewarded' Library Journal 'A convincing and exceptionally detailed portrait … Political history buffs will be fascinated' Publishers Weekly 'Garrow is a demon for research … Eminently solid … Consistently readable – an impressive work' Kirkus Reviews
