Obama: The Historic Presidency of Barack Obama - 2,920 Days Hardcover – April 4, 2017 by Mark Greenberg (Author), Ken Burns (Foreword) (Sterling)



There is little doubt that this book has been lovingly and intelligently edited. The images are revealing, most giving insight into the President that I had never known - and more importantly, they prove what a sincere, compassionate, dedicated man Obama is. If you want to know what Obama represents for the country, all you have to do is look through this book. Captions are strong, informative. The layout crisp and thrilling. The book? The book is history visited, revisited, remembered and celebrated.

A vibrant celebration of President Obama, this perfect commemorative book provides a valuable record of his historical presidency. 

In January 2017, Barack Obama concluded two terms of his historic presidency. Through stunning images by White House photographers and beyond, as well as notable essays and quotes from a broad spectrum of people, Obama looks back at President Obama’s journey—from his remarkable victory to his final days in office and the significant milestones along the way. 

      Obama features rare and unseen photographs, along with iconic images and newspaper front pages from the president’s 2,920 days in office. It includes dramatic pictures, including the iconic shot from the situation room as the president and his staff watched the live unfolding of the bin Laden raid; day-to-day images of Obama in his roles as a world leader, policy maker, commander in chief, and father; lighthearted photos from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner; late-night television appearances; and moments with the entire Obama family. 

     Included are excerpts from seven historic speeches and contributions from notable historians, community leaders, journalists, academics and business leaders—including Sir Richard Branson, Laurie Garrett, Tweed Roosevelt, Anastasia Somoza and others whose lives have been touched by Obama’s actions and initiatives. Obama is truly a keepsake memento of a beloved president.
