Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer David Maraniss reveals the startling story of US President Barack Obama's early years. At the heart of Obama's psyche, and therefore his presidency, is his life-long struggle to form an identity. Through in-depth interviews with friends, lovers, family and Obama himself, and love letters penned by him as a young man, Maraniss portrays Obama's extraordinary transformation from a mixed race boy raised by white grandparents in laid-back Hawaii to an African-American man with a burning political vision and vocation. A This remarkable biography shows, Barack Obama's unique life is one of survival, love and fierce ambition.

More like a sweeping epic novel of generations of a family than a political biography. -- Christina Lamb * Sunday Times * A revelatory book, which anyone interested in modern politics will want to read -- James Fallows * New York Times Book Review * An engrossing and sometimes rousing book, giving a more intimate picture of a serving President than any other writer has done. -- Stephen Howe * Independent * The great virtue of [this] huge and engrossing new biography is to demonstrate that Obama's saga in its full and previously unexplored detail is more surprising and gripping than the version the world is familar with * New York Times * What Maraniss skilfully dissects is the voyage of self-discovery - and quest for racial self-identity - that launched Obama on his historic march to the White House * Daily Telegraph 'Books of 2012' * A blistering new biography * Daily Mail *
