It is a roots story on a global scale, a saga of constant movement, frustration and accomplishment, strong women and weak men, hopes lost and deferred, people leaving and being left. Disparate family threads converge in the climactic chapters as Obama reaches adulthood and travels from Honolulu to Los Angeles to New York to Chicago, trying to make sense of his past, establish his own identity, and prepare for his political future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBarack Obama: The Story\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles as never before the forces that shaped the first black president of the United States and explains why he thinks and acts as he does. Much like the author's classic study of Bill Clinton, \u003ci\u003eFirst in His Class\u003c\/i\u003e, this promises to become a seminal book that will redefine a president.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Maraniss is an associate editor at \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e and a distinguished visiting professor at Vanderbilt University.
