Peter Bakers authoritative history of the Obama presidency is the first complete account that will stand the test of time.

With vivid color photographs by New York Times photographers and others of the events, major and minor, public and behind-the scenes, that defined Barack Obamas eight years in office, Obama: The Call of History is a portrait in full of Americas first African-American president against the background of these tumultuous times.
